[Carolina 1961]

*Davenport** * *Area* *Residents Invited to
Local Health Care Reform Listening Post*

* *
*Genesis** Medical Center** , **Saturday Sept 8***



Residents of the Iowa Quad Cities and surrounding communities are invited to
participate in a local "Health Care Reform Listening Post."  *The public is
asked to bring their suggestions on improving our health care system* to the
*Genesis** Medical Center **– West Campus, Annunciata and Borromeo rooms, on
Saturday, September 8, 10:00 AM at 1401 West Central Park Avenue, Davenport.
*



"Our health care system is not working and we need to help fix it," said
State Senator Frank Wood, (Eldridge) who will be attending the meeting.



Health care reform is a concern of every family and small business in
America.  A statewide commission is currently reviewing Iowa's health care
system  and virtually every Presidential candidate has offered a health care
reform proposal.



In addition to Senator Wood, attendees will include State Senator Joe Seng
and Representative Cindy Winkler and  Representative Linda Miller as well as
other local leaders, and Iowa health care advocates.



The Davenport listening post is part of a series of forums intended to help
local citizens and community leaders to share their concerns and solutions
about how to improve our ailing health care system in Iowa and nationally.
The events are being cosponsored by *"**Working Families Win,"*   a
national, non-partisan grassroots  campaign of *Americans for Democratic
Action,** Progressive Action for the Common Good and by "Iowa for Health
Care."*

* *

"The public comments received at the Davenport listening post will be shared
with state and federal elected officials," said State Senator Joe Bolkcom,
Iowa City, who is helping organize the event.



Working Families Win focuses on pocket book issues of concern to working
families including the need for comprehensive health care reform.
Progressive Action for the Common Good is working to build a support network
aimed at keeping activists active and reframe activism itself as simply good
citizenry and to work for the common good of all in our communities. Iowa
for Health Care is working to unite working families, small business owners,
seniors, health care workers, community leaders, and policy makers to fight
for affordable, quality health care that we can all count on.
