I’d like to let you know about the upcoming livestreamed event Our Healthcare System in Crisis: National Single-Payer Summit this Friday March 11th through Sunday March 13th. This three-day deep dive into all things national, improved Medicare For All will help focus the conversation and provide insight on what we must do to accomplish it.
On Friday starting at 6pm EST, experts will be breaking down the overcomplicated system we have now. Saturday’s stream kicks off at 12pm EST by exploring the shortcomings of healthcare in America. Sunday’s inspiring finale at 12pm EST will cover the path to a national single-payer system. Peppered throughout the panel discussions will be calls to action, exciting announcements, cameos from well-known Medicare For All supporters and live music from some of our friends. Please note: Sunday is daylight saving time.
This event is brought to you by March for Medicare for All, National Single Payer, Real Progressives, Yellow Vest Actions and Indie News Network.
Make sure to set reminders for each day!
