The University of Michigan and the Citizens’ Health Care Working Group invite you to participate in an interactive health care forum
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22
6:30pm–9:30pm EST
Become a part of the historic discussion taking place right now across America—where citizens like you get to tell the policymakers in Washington what you like and don’t like about our nation’s health care system, and what tough choices our country should make to turn it into one that works for all Americans.
“What is your Health Worth?” is a discussion of health care policy issues featuring panelists and a live audience that will take place at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and across the country.
This is a chance for you to help shape national policy. It is a chance to get the facts, weigh the tradeoffs, and tell the President and Congress exactly how you want your health care system to change.
And your voice does matter. Your opinions will help form a citizens’ action plan that the President and Congress are required by law to consider as they work to make health care work for all Americans.
Over 22 partner institutions will be participating in the event at locations on their campuses. The host panel and local panelists will be taking questions from the audiences and guiding participants in filling out a questionnaire that will be sent to the Working Group.
