Healthcare is broken

Ever wonder why our healthcare system costs twice as much per person as health care systems in other developed countries? Ever wonder why the U.S. still doesn’t cover everyone so people don’t go broke trying to pay for healthcare? Ever wonder why the U.S. has some of the worst healthcare outcomes among developed countries?

Guinn Unger, president of the Colorado Healthcare Coalition (a La Plata County-based nonprofit), will present “Our Broken Healthcare System and How We Can Fix It” on Tues., April 2 from 12 noon-1:30 p.m. via Zoom. The presentation will outline efforts that are underway to create a state-based universal healthcare system in Colorado – just like other forward-looking states (Calif., Ore., Wash.) are advocating for as well.

Can you imagine not having to worry about medical expenses? Can you imagine being able to take your kids in anytime you have health questions? Can you imagine having zero deductible? It is possible, and easier than you think.  This will be recorded and available a day or two later on La Plata Dems’ YouTube page.
