Sharing Health Care Stories

You are invited to share your health care story or that of someone close to you.

Location: Mildred Van Hove's House at 121 Windsor Boulevard in Hampton.

Time: Thursday, June 11, 7 to 8 pm

Agenda: Sharing health care stories and planning for National Care Day of Service June 27

The stories will be compiled and sent to President Obama. This will help to highlight the urgency for Congress to pass comprehensive health care reform that will:

1) reduce costs

2) guarantee choice, and

3) ensure all Americans have quality, affordable health care.

Additional information about health care is available at www.HealthReform.gov.

One of the keys to handling our deficit and our debt is to get a handle on out of control health care costs. In the last eight years, health care premiums have grown four times faster than wages. An additional nine million Americans have become uninsured. The cost of health care now causes a bankruptcy in America every thirty seconds.

For the National Health Care Day of Service in Franklin County on June 27th, volunteers will be visiting nursing homes, shut-ins, or providing respite car for those caring for their sick loved ones at home.

Unable to attend on the 11th? Please contact Julie Ziesman at 641-751-6014. She will send you a form you can fill out with your health care story!
