Re:  Citizens' Health Care Working Group Community Meeting -  Miami 3/9/06     



The federally-funded, bi-partisan Citizens' Health Care Working Group will hold
a Community Meeting in  Miami - March 9, 2006 at Wyndham Grand Bay, 2669 South
Bayshore Dr., 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm

The purpose of this Community Meeting is to ask the public specific questions
about health care benefits, coverage and financing.  The answers gathered at
Community Meetings across the country, through the mail, or the internet will be
used by the Working Group to form Recommendations to the President and Congress
for "Health Care That Works for All Americans" in the fall of 2006. 
Congressional Hearings will also be held on these Recommendations. 



The Making Health Care Work for All Campaign is being convened by UHCAN and the
national partners listed below to address opportunities offered by the Citizens'
Health Care Working Group to engage Americans in a nationwide debate about how
to "provide every American with the ability to obtain quality, affordable health
care." 



Your participation is needed to help insure that voices calling for quality,
affordable health care for all in America are heard loud and clear in this
unique opportunity to provide meaningful public input to our federal government
as it works to reform health care in America.
