Dr. Jerry Stein, a local doctor, professor, and volunteer with Physicians for a National Health Program is working with students and UF’s College of Medicine to organize a discussion on health disparities and universal access to health care as part of a Medicare-for-All National Day of Action.

Here are maps for free parking, how to get to the building, and how to find the room (Room C1-4 in the Communicore Building).  You can also search for “Communicore” on the UF Campus Map.  Pizza will be provided!

On Tues, Sept. 29th, at 6:30pm, Rep. Clovis Watson will join us for a discussion of the future of Florida’s Medicaid program.  Since January 1, 2014, Florida has rejected $15 million per day that would provide coverage to hundreds of thousands of uninsured people. The Labor Coalition is partnering with FL Chain in support of their statewide campaign to get FL to close the coverage gap by accepting billions of dollars in federal Medicaid funds.  Our meeting will be at the ACEA Hall (618 NW 13th Ave. Gainesville).  We’ll have pizza and drinks available starting at 6:15pm.  Please join us for a successful launch of this important campaign and contact us if you’d like more information or would like to help get the word out for this event.
