College hosts National Issues Forum on health care
The U.S. spends more than any other country in the world on health care. Yet serious problems with access, cost and quality persist, depriving many people of the care they need and jeopardizing the health of our nation.
From doctors to insurance executives, from patients to officeholders, an overwhelming number of Americans say we desperately need to reform health care in this country. At the heart of people’s concerns about health care are important questions about what we value as Americans and what we are and are not willing to do to improve health care.
Clinton Community College will host the National Issues Forum “Examining Health Care – What’s the Public’s Prescription?” Workshop February 26 and March 4. The program is from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. and participants will consider three perspectives on this difficult issue.
National Issues Forums (NIF) is a nonpartisan, nationwide network of locally sponsored public forums for the consideration of public policy issues. It is rooted in the simple notion that people need to come together to reason and talk to deliberate about common problems. Indeed, democracy requires an ongoing deliberative public dialogue. Come to help us THINK, DELIBERATE, ACT!!!
The community is invited to participate in the National Issues Forum and to encourage others to attend as well. There is no cost but registration is requested.
