SUMMARY:Town Hall - Vancouver (with Clark County League of Women Voters)
DESCRIPTION:Join Whole Washington and the Clark County League of Women Voters for a community conversation about the woes of our current for-profit system and how establishing the Washington Health Trust could be a real solution for Washington state. Saving lives and saving money \nWe are creating spaces for open dialogue about our healthcare system.  In some way\, we’re all too familiar with the failures of the fragmented\, for-profit system that we have today.  Failures like: \n\ninadequate staffing\nhospital closures\nchallenges with navigating insurance coverage\ndenials\, networks\, and per-authorizations\nsurprise bills and medical debt\n\nWe know we can do better. By establishing the Washington Health Trust and designing a publicly funded\, nonprofit system\, we can offer comprehensive care to all Washington State residents.  Patients\, providers\, unions\, small businesses\, our entire community will benefit. When we disconnect healthcare from employment\, we live longer and save money. \nWhole Washington organizers will present about 20 minutes worth of material and then move into Q & A. Everyone has a story and we want to hear yours! We’ll highlight how the Washington Health Trust can resolve many existing issues and get us on track to a brighter future. \nThese town halls are non-partisan\, educational events\, open to everyone. Please join us and let’s increase our people power! Together\, we can make Universal Healthcare a reality. \nWe will be having a simultaneous online Town Hall for this event. If you would like to attend this event virtually please RSVP below. \n \n\nSpread the word:
