A forum on universal health care for the United States will take place on April 21 with a physician, labor activist, clergy members, and politicians.
The Ithaca College students who have organized the Health Care Advocacy Coalition invite you, your students, your family, and friends to this forum on Wednesday, April 21, at 7:30 p.m. in Textor 102. It is free and open to the public.
The speakers at the forum include:
- Dan Lamb, spokesperson for Maurice Hinchey
- Martha Robertson, Tompkins County legislator
- Susan Soboroff, local physician
- Tony Del Plato, Tompkins County Health Care Task Force
- Reverend Will Baez, Tompkins County Health Care Task Force
The forum has been organized by the students in the Health Care Advocacy Coalition and is cosponsored by the Ithaca College health policy department. The Advocacy Coalition's mission is to mobilize support for the fundamental right to high quality health care for all Americans. It is working together with the Ithaca College Democrats and the Ithaca College Staff Council to inform students and staff about the importance of universal health care. The coalition also supports the Health Care Access Resolution (HR99), which is being backed by Representative Hinchey in Congress.
For more information, please contact Andrea Farwell. The Health Care Advocacy Coalition's brochures and fact sheets about the need for universal health care and the advantages of a single payer plan are available for your classes.
