MEDIA SERIES: HOW TO UNIVERSALIZE HEALTH CARE THROUGH COOPS

DON MCCORMICK is providing free training for writers, workers, and community members to set up, own and run our own health care coops. Instead of paying for profit insurance companies, we can pay our own doctors and clinics directly by following a nonprofit model that has been developed since 2005, with over 2500 members citywide, and a growing network of service providers including hospitals and clinics. Progressive film producer MADLENA PRESTON plans to videotape a weekly program to educate more people on how to access health care benefits and set up jobs running local coops that serve members at half the cost of other plans. Please join DON at his weekly meetings of the nonprofit PPC held every THURSDAY, 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 or 8, at the HEIGHTS HOSPITAL in the basement. MADLENA will host meetings on SUNDAYS to create a weekly TV show for nonprofit public outreach either online or through public access TV. NOTE: If you have a personal story about health care issues, and you want to show how nonprofit coops solve that problem, please contact MADLENA so we can make a TV series. Thank you!
