Single Payer Healthcare Forum

WHAT IT MEANS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES, HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND YOU

A forum brought to you by the Dutchess County Progressive Action Alliance, Physicians for a National Health Program, New York Metro Chapter and the Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

The rising cost of health care with ever- increasing insurance premiums, co-payments and deductibles is a major concern for businesses and individuals. Learn more about how single payer health care can help to provide solutions to the challenges for businesses and individuals in affording health care.

The program speaker will be LEONARD RODBERG, who holds a PhD in theoretical physics from MIT. He served as Director of the Science Policy Office in the US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency in the 1960s, and then as a Fellow of the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, DC.

He began his health care reform activities in 1974, when he led the development of the Dellums Health Service Act. He was one of the founders of Physicians for a National Health Program in the late 1980s. He is on the Board of the NY Metro Chapter and is Treasurer and Research Director of the Chapter.

Dr. Rodberg recently retired as Professor and Chair of the Urban Studies Department at Queens College. He directs the Infoshare Community Data Service (www.infoshare.org), which provides health and demographic data on the communities of New York City and State. He speaks and writes frequently for the Chapter. He will be joined by members of the small business and medical communities.
