[Libs-Or] Fwd: Universal health care

[Diedre Conkling]

It seems to me that we should be contacting Congress about health care.  It
affects us all personally and in our budgeting.

I know that I could hire more people if we did not have the health care
costs we have today.  I suspect some of the libraries that are in real
financial trouble and the cities and counties would be in better shape if we
did not have these health care costs.

See:

RESOLUTION ENDORSING HR 676, FOR SINGLE PAYER UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE,

AND S 2772, THE HEALTH PARTNERSHIP ACT

FYI - ALA-APA is hosting the following program at Annual Conference:

Medicare for All
Dr. Quentin Young
Sunday, July 12, 10:30 am -12:00 pm, Hyatt Regency McCormick Conf Ctr 12d
Single-payer national health insurance is a system in which a single public
or quasi-public agency organizes health financing, but delivery of care
remains largely private. The U.S. health care system is outrageously
expensive, yet inadequate, spending more than twice as much as the rest of
the industrialized nations and leaving 47 million completely uninsured. This
program will introduce the philosophy of Physicians for a National Health
Program, which defines, researches and supports single-payer health
insurance.
