Lehigh Valley Coalition for Health Care Reform

"One of the traditional methods for imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project; most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can’t afford it." - Ronald Reagan

The Lehigh Valley COALITION for Health Care Reform is a non-partisan grassroots coalition of concerned citizens and health care professionals committed to educating the public about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and other measures and policies impacting America's health.

Our Constitution Day Educational Workshop is the first in a series of health care reform events hosted by the Lehigh Valley COALITION for Health Care Reform. Future topics will include more about grassroots efforts to protect Pennsylvania's patients, keeping Medicare and Medicaid solvent, how the PPACA will affect young people, holding health insurance companies accountable while not putting them out of business, medical and pharmaceutical innovation, and more. If there's a health care reform topic you'd like to learn more about, please let us know.

You can join our coalition at www.Meetup.com/Lehigh-Valley-COALITION-for-Health-Care-Reform or email us at LVCoalition4HCR@aol.com.

Archived video of our Constitution Day educational workshop entitled "Everything You Wanted to Know About ObamaCare, but Didn't Know Who To Ask" from 1 to 5 p.m. September 17, 2011, on the campus of DeSales University is available on Ustream: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/health-care-reform---desales.

Contributions to help support future programming are gratefully accepted. Checks may be made out to Lehigh Valley Coalition for Health Care Reform and sent to 3449 Huckleberry Rd., Allentown, PA 18104.
