Future of Your Health Care forum to address single-payer health care


ATHENS – Community members will have an opportunity to get the facts on single-payer health care at a public forum Wednesday, Sept. 11 from 7:15-9:30 p.m. at the Athens Community Center, 701 E. State St.

The forum is being hosted by the Single Payer Action Network, Ohio (SPAN), a statewide coalition of organizations and individuals working to enact fundamental health care reform that guarantees full and comprehensive access to a full range of medical services.

The forum will include an informational presentation, a panel discussion led by SPAN, Ohio Director Debbie Silverstein, followed by a question and answer period.

Silverstein stressed the need to create a health care system that treats patients with dignity.

“We need to transform our health care system so that patients are seen first as human beings in need of care, not just as a revenue source,” Silverstein said.
.
For information about the forum contact Southeastern Ohio Coordinator Arlene Sheak, (740) 707-4924 or email arlenesheak@columbus.rr.com. Information about SPAN, Ohio can be found at group’s website www.spanohio.org.
