What is the best prescription for health care reform?


Forty-eight million Americans have no health care insurance.
The uninsured are sicker and die sooner. They have trouble on the job because they are frequently “sick at work” or preoccupied with family health problems. They have crushing medical debt, the second leading cause of family bankruptcy and a leading cause of family stress and breakdown. The financial cost of this health coverage crisis, to say nothing of its human and social cost, is now a major part of the cost of doing business in the U.S., crippling many companies and harming our competitive position in the world. Health care is essential to our nation’s overall physical and economic well-being. Please join us as we identify and discuss options for health care reform and policies.
