August 21, 2009

NEW YORK—(U.S. ASIAN WIRE)— Health care reform has become a burning issue. Stakes for each community, business and special interest groups are high and political divide seems to be across party lines.

WHEN: Wednesday, August 26th @ 3:00 pm
 
WHERE: Manhattan Neighborhood Network
537 W 59th St (Between 10th and 11th Avenues)

New York, NY 10019-1006

-- United States spends close to 16 percent of its gross domestic product on health care, and in the next 25 years or so it is projected to reach 31 percent

-- It is widely expected that the Congress might pass legislation calling for spending more, not less, on health care. Will increased spending on health care be sustainable?

-- Will it guarantee quality care, especially to the ethnic groups and communities that have little or no access to health care?

Come and get answers to your questions before the Congress gets ready to take it up after its recess next month.
