Did You Or Someone You Know Break the Health Care System?

Tom Daschle and Barack Obama’s transition team have asked that Americans - interested in the subject of healthcare reform - lead community meetings to create a list of ideas for the new administration. So my husband took the invitation to heart and has decided to lead a group in our home right here in DC. Please respond if you’d like to join us. Here’s a copy of the email he’s been sending to friends:

Did You Or Someone You Know Break the Health Care System?

Has our health care system failed you personally?  Is it broken?  I don’t want to hear about it….

….come join me for a Health Care Community Discussion (http://video.yahoo.com/watch/4122939/11107417) about what’s right with the U.S. Health Care System.

Be prepared to discuss one experience in which your interaction with the health care system was positive.

The goal will be to gather those observations and submit them to the Obama-Biden Transition Health Policy Team to be applied as best practices across the entire industry.  Why do we always have to approach reform by looking at what’s wrong?  Let’s discuss what’s right.

If you would like to attend this event, please RSVP to szlotkus at yahoo.com

Date: December 30th
Time: 7-9pm
Location: Dupont Circle, Washington DC (I will provide the exact address to attendee’s via e-mail)
Total attendance will be limited to 15 people.

Bring a friend, or pass on this web page to someone you think might be interested in coming.
