The Riverwest Health Initiative is partnering with Citizen Action of Wisconsin to bring you a Health Care Reform Summit. This is an opportunity to learn from experts about the three proposed health care reform plans for the state. You can ask questions about how this will affect you personally. You will even have the chance to write letters to your legislator and share your personal stories of living without health insurance or adequate coverage.

If you have ever gone without needed health care because you simply cannot afford it, you need to come to the Health Care Reform Summit.

If your employer offers health insurance, but you can’t afford to pay your part, or if high deductibles keep you from using the health care system, you need to come to the Summit. If you use health insurance now but understand that rising costs threaten everyone’s coverage, you need to come too.

At the Summit you can learn about the options facing our legislature, and you can also provide input that may help shape the future health care plan for the state. To learn more about the health care reform campaign, go to www. citizenactionwi.org.
