Greetings CaPA Activists-
The following is an event being held in the SF Bay Area. Please check
it out if you find yourself with some extra time on your hands this
weekend!
Saturday, March 1, 2008 at 12:30pm and Sunday March 2, 2008 at 2:00pm
Camera 12, 201 South Second Street, San Jose, CA
World premiere of this new documentary by Roger Weisberg at the
Cinequest Film Festival. CRITICAL CONDITION paints a gripping portrait
of what happens when you're sick anduninsured in America. The four
people profiled in Critical Condition live in places as diverse as Los
Angeles; Austin, Texas; and Bethlehem, Penn., but they face
distressingly similar obstacles to surviving without health insurance.
It is through their eyes and words that we are taken through the
gaping holes in the health care system, where care is often delayed or
denied. Ultimately, the unforgettable subjects of Critical Condition
discover that being uninsured can cost them their jobs, health, homes,
savings, and even their lives.
Contact: Tickets available online at http://www.cinequest.org or by
calling 408.295.FEST

Hello CaPA Members-
We'd like to encourage our CaPA Activists, especially those in the Bay
Area, to please join fellow nurses, doctors, patients, students and
advocates in San Francisco on Thursday, June 19, at the biggest
national health insurance protest ever.
When:
* Thursday, June 19th

Insurance Plans (AHIP) will be meeting in San Francisco.
* Politicians and CEOs from Health Insurance Companies that oppose
universal health care will be attending (former US senators Bill
Frist, former Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson,
former Counselor to President Bush Dan Bartlett among others)
Who is leading this rally:
* Sen. Kuehl (sponsor of the California Universal Health Care
bill, SB 840)
* California Nurses Association
* S. F. Labor Council,
* California Alliance of Retired Americans
* Physicians for a National Health Program.
* There will be solidarity rallies in major US cities.
What will be in the rally:
* Media coverage (on the spot texting and phoning messages and
photos about the rally to news organizations)
* A funeral procession. in memory of the countless victims of the
insurance industry. Bring family, friends, and photos of loved ones
harmed by insurance denials.
Most important for media coverage will be the turnout. WE NEED YOU
THERE!
Directions to the rally are as follows.
BART/MUNI: Exit at Powell St. Station. Walk one block east on Market
St. to 4th. St. Turn right and walk two blocks south to Howard St.
DRIVING: From the Bay Bridge: Take 5th. St. exit off the Bay Bridge.
From 5th. St. turn right onto Folsom St. Turn left on 3rd. St. Park in
the garage on 3rd. St. between Folsom and Howard. Walk to Howard, turn

insurance industry in health care.
The June 19 rally is a critical opportunity to get public attention on
the only real solutions for the state and nation's worsening
healthcare crisis -- SB 840 and HR 676!
Thank You and Kindest Regards,
