Town Hall Meeting: Sorting Out Health Care Reform Sunday, August 23, 2-4 pm
Unitarian Universalist Church of Rockville
100 Welsh Park Drive, Rockville Maryland
With Dr. Deborah Schumann, Health Care Reform Analyst
Contact: kens.s@mindspring.com
Get answers to your health care reform questions: What in the world is
going on in Congress? How do the various proposals differ? "Public plan"
and "public option"'? How will the proposals affect me? What can I do to
affect the final legislation?"
Side-by-side comparisons of the plans. Talking points for letters you
can write. Names and addresses of your legislators.
This Town Hall is one of a number held during August throughout Maryland
to encourage voters to contact their U.S. representatives before
Congress resumes its work in September.

2010 election season. This will be a fun and empowering event!
