[Pacg] Community Discussion on Health Care, Aug 21, 7:30pm

[qcprogressiveaction]

*From the PACG Health Care Reform Forum:*


On *Thursday August 21st at 7:30 pm*, *Iowa for Health Care* is holding a
community event at *United Neighbors office on 808 Harrison Street* in
Davenport.

Speakers at the event will discuss the challenges facing women and families
in a health care system that is increasingly plagued by higher costs and
lower quality. Participants will also discuss their concerns about Senator
John McCain's recent policy proposals, which would do nothing to control
costs, would make it harder for Americans to get coverage and would erode
consumer protections already in place.

Panel speakers for the event include local Health Care Voters: Karen
Metcalf, Caroline Vernon and Shirley McClemore. The event is open to the
public and allows time for open discussion about this important topic. The
health care system in this country has reached a crisis point, and the
longer we wait to act, the worse it is going to get.

For more information, contact Karen Metcalf (PACG) at karencadfael at aol.com or
Adam Surly (Iowa For Health Care) at observants at gmail.com.

Please share this information with your friends and family members... this
is an issue that affects us all.
