June 7 -
First Friday Salon - 6pm - Chetco Public
Library This
documentary provides the real story of how the health care
system in Canada and the United States evolved to be so
completely different, given that at one point they were
essentially the same. Most people under the age of 50, in
both countries, are not aware of the intensity of the
political struggle that led to the universal medical care
system in Canada. Nor are they aware of the propaganda,
still active today, that has been prevalent in the US since
the early 1900's to dissuade the public from supporting
national health care. It also reveals the continuing
struggle in the US between the fear of government
intervention and the right to quality health care for all
people. Every day
people are dying or going bankrupt due to the ills of the
US system. Who are we in the face of this human
tragedy? If you agree that people are more important
than profits, then you must watch this film! The film
starts promptly at 6pm at the Chetco Community Public
Library in Brookings followed by a 15 minute Power Point
presentation by Annette Klinefelter of Curry Healthy
Communities bringing the information local followed by open
discussion. Come early
and join our "Photo Petition Campaign." You can help Health
Care for All-Oregon (HCAO) collect thousands of photo
petitions to put citizens on record in support of Health
Care as a Human Right. There should be no barriers to health
care for anyone. Other nations enjoy this right. Join us to
spread the word. For more information visit
