Health Reform Press Conf Tues. July 28
Mike Hersh
I apologize for the short notice. We are holding a press conference in
Washington this Tuesday. It is sponsored by the Gesundheit! Institute
and Amnesty International and will kick off Artists for Guaranteed
Health Care's first project: Faces of the Uninsured and Underinsured - a
poster project which will put a human face on health care reform. This
event will be filmed by a crew from New York who are wrapping up a movie
on the underinsured.
We are inviting all health professionals and patients to join us for
this event. We will meet outside the Rayburn House Office Building on
the Independence Ave side at 9:30 am on Tuesday, July 28th and march
into the building with Dr. Patch Adams. The press conference will start
at 10 am in Rayburn 2226 with a panel discussion led by Dr. Adams.
Several members of Congress, Donna Smith and others will attend.
We will then attend a hearing in Judiciary Committee on bankruptcy at
which the contribution of medical debt to bankruptcy will be discussed.
That starts at 11.
We hope that you can join us. Please pass this along.
