San Antonio Tea Party to Host Healthcare Town Hall
Julia Hayden August 17, 2009 In an effort to forego rhetoric in favor of informed discussion, the Austin Tea Party Patriots, which is affiliated with the San Antonio Tea Party, will host a “Healthcare Town Hall” August 20, 2009 from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM in San Antonion at a venue to be announced. Headed by Dr. Clare L. Gray of the non-profit organization Physicians for Reform, the Town Hall will focus on “Finding a New Way Forward” – a program for healthcare reform that focuses on maintaining the physician-patient relationship within a structure that benefits all Americans. This Town Hall meeting will be an opportunity for San Antonians to hear constructive alternatives to currently proposed national healthcare legislation – alternatives which give decision making authority to people, rather than to a bureaucracy. There will be information about how these alternative proposals would allow inclusion of the chronically uninsured, and how healthcare can be made more cost affordable to everyone. (More)
