Guaranteed Healthcare for All in New York
Sunday, February 25th, 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
A film short screening and a forum will feature the documentary film Fix It: Healthcare At The Tipping Point and a discussion and Q&A with Dr. Roona Ray. The evening will focus on building the momentum to pass single payer, universal healthcare for all, the New York Health Act, and the best ways for everyone to get involved.
The event is open to the public, and it is free. It will be held on Sunday February 25th, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., in a wheelchair-accessible venue. Popcorn and light refreshments will be provided. RSVP here.
The host organizations are HEAL NY: Healthcare Equity Action League of New York; Campaign for New York Health; Pakistani American Youth Society; NY Senate District 17 for Progress; Ditmas Civic; and Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) - NY Metro Chapter.
Fix It: Healthcare At The Tipping Point examines how the healthcare system "damages the economy, suffocates business, discourages physicians, and negatively impacts on the nation's health--while remaining unaffordable for one-third of our citizens."
The advocates for reform included in the film are activists, health policy experts, economists, physicians, nurses, patients, and business and labor leaders.
After the screening, Dr. Roona Ray, family doctor and board member of Physicians for a National Health Program - NY Metro Chapter, will speak and will take questions about the New York Health Act and grassroots efforts to bring universal healthcare to New York.
