Understanding Universal Healthcare - Part II

4:00 PM – 5:30 PM

Description

This webinar will have simultaneous Spanish interpretation.

Are you curious about the ins and outs of Universal Healthcare? Did you know that the U.S. currently spends much more on healthcare than other developed countries with worse health outcomes? The U.S. system has inequities and inefficiencies, and is unaffordable for many people. Learn more about our complex healthcare system, and what California can do to provide high quality healthcare for everyone.

Join us on April 20, 2023, from 4:00 to 5:30 for a Zoom webinar “Understanding Universal Healthcare Part II” with panelists: Laurel Lucia, Health Care Program Director, U.C. Berkeley Labor Center, Consultant to the Healthy California for All Commission; Dr. Jim Kahn, Professor, Institute for Health Policy Studies, UCSF Medical School, Healthcare economist; and CA District 40 Assemblywoman Pilar Schiavo, Assembly Majority Whip, activist and organizer in healthcare reform efforts.

The program will open with a brief overview of the Part I program aired on March 9, 2023, and will follow with the Health California for All Commission Report and explore current initiatives in California to increase equity, affordability, and access to healthcare. A demonstration of the Medicare for All Savings Calculator will also be offered. The panel will answer your questions and share opportunities for the community to advocate for less expensive and better health care. Spanish translation will be available.

This webinar will have simultaneous Spanish translation.

Sponsors include the League of Women Voters of Diablo Valley, the League of Women Voters of West Contra Costa County, and the Contra Costa County Library.
