On May 30^th, 2009 "Guaranteed Health Care for All" was the focus of a National Day of Action.  Events occurred across the nation to spread the message that all citizens must have access to affordable health care.

There was a gathering in Northfield sponsored by the Northfield Area Citizens for Universal Health Care to convey this message.  The intent of the national event was to advocate for improved "Medicare for All", a single-payer national health system. President Obama has clearly stated three core principles that must be achieved in health care reform:  reduce costs, guarantee choice, and ensure that all Americans have quality, affordable health care.  The majority of Americans and physicians in the U.S. agree that the only way to truly achieve affordable, equitable health care for everyone is through a single-payer system. This solution is being ignored by Congress as a viable option.  So, thousands of health care activists publicly conveyed the message across the country to mobilize a grass roots movement for improved "Medicare for All".

The Northfield Area Citizens for Universal Health Care has their next meeting scheduled for June 15^th (Monday) at the Just Food Backroom at 7pm.  Join us to discuss the current health reform status and actions to pursue.  Contact Joan or Steve Janusz at 507-645-0094 for information.
