Health Care Community Discussion 12/28 & 12/30

Daschle & the transition team are suggesting local Health Care Community Discussions before 2009 –

http://change.gov/page/s/hcdiscussion

Health care is a top priority for President-elect Obama and for Senator Tom Daschle, Secretary-designate for Health and Human Services (HHS). They both are committed to health care reform that comes from the ground up — that’s why this holiday season, we’re asking you to give us the gift of your ideas and input.

Albert Cook, one of the founding members of New Paltz and Vicinity for Obama, has volunteered to host our local healthcare meeting. It will take place on SUNDAY, DECEMBER 28 at 10:30AM at the Plaza Diner in New Paltz. To RSVP: http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/gptccq

Pat Wootan, one of the founding members of Hudson Valley for Obama, has volunteered to host a discussion in Kingston, Tuesday December 30th 7-8pm. To RSVP: http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/meeting/gptkdv

If these meeting dates are inconvenient for anyone, no worries- Shelley Fagiola will be hosting a second meeting in January.

We’ll provide you with a special Moderator’s Guide that will give you everything you need to get the discussion going. Secretary-designate Tom Daschle will even choose some discussions to attend in person.

He recorded this short message to talk a bit about why these discussions are so important. Watch the video and sign up to lead your own Health Care Community Discussion.
