How to get Universal Health Care

With the economy in crisis, reforming our health care might seem like a lesser priority- but with thousands losing their jobs--and benefits--it's more important than ever before. John Geyman has taken the lead in explaining how a single-payer system can provide comprehensive, universal health care for America, both as a Tikkun author, and as former head of Physicians for a National Health Program. Now we're pleased to welcome Mr. Geyman to the Tikkun/NSP Phone Forum, Monday February 23rd at 9pm EST/6pm PST!

Just call 1 888 346 3950 and ENTER CODE 11978

Tikkun Managing Editor Dave Belden will interview John Geyman for twenty minutes, then he'll take questions from YOU!
