NEWS: Considering the Crisis

Posted on 14 January 2008

On Monday night at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, the Over the Mountain Democrats will host an evening of discussion and debate titled “Crisis in American Healthcare: Is Universal Coverage the Solution?”

Featured speakers include U.S. Congressman Artur Davis, 7th District; Terry Kellogg, Executive Vice President & CFO, Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Alabama; Dr. Max Michael, Dean of the UAB School of Public Health; and Dr. Walden “Wally” Retan, practicing physician and state coordinator of Healthcare For Everyone, the Alabama Chapter of Physicians for a National Health Plan.

The panelists will discuss the proposed healthcare policies of the leading presidential candidates and issues of disparity in access to healthcare for U.S. citizens. Perhaps the most interesting question on the agenda: Is meaningful reform really possible?

The free program begins at 6:30 p.m.
