Affordable health care is challenging for the average American and can be a barrier for those without the resources for today’s health care costs.
The United States is the wealthiest nation in human history, yet for more and more families, a single healthcare crisis causes financial ruin. Medical debt has become the leading cause of bankruptcy in the nation, with as many as 500,000 Americans filing each year after seeking medical treatment.
“While we don’t hold an official position on the issue, the fact remains that healthcare is a major concern across our community and the country,” Hillsborough Democratic Alliance President, Steve Pick said. “We are pleased to present this informational event for the benefit of residents who would like to learn more about the impact that the Medicare for All proposal could have on their lives, livelihoods, and the American economy in general.”
Dr. William Thar M.D., a member of Physicians for a National Health Program, will be presenting “What is ‘Medicare for All’ About?” to inform about our current for-profit health care system and how “Medicare For All” could work to expand healthcare access for lower overall costs.
Dr. Thar has lifelong credentials as a career physician, with a Master’s Degree in Health Care Administration and Epidemiology. He has been a consultant for major U.S. corporations to develop their health care benefits programs, as well as a Medical Director for a healthcare management company.
The event is will be held on Feb. 5 from 7 – 8:30 p.m. at Woods Road Firehouse, 324 Woods Road, Hillsborough. It is free and open to the community.
