[Nyclocal] DSA Event on "Socialized Medicine"

[deusexmachina at optonline.net]

Looks like DSA is continuing on the healthcare bandwagon, though I would be really interested to see what they mean by "socialized medicine."  Do folks know if there was any DSA presence at the rally on Friday?I may go to this since I don't have finals any more so really don't have much left to do.  If I do, I'll be sure to mention the coalition.~Peter M.*************************************************************    Socialized Medicine? You Bet!"    Thursday, May 15th  7:30-9:30pm  Judson Memorial Church  239 Thompson Street (at Washington Square South)  Refreshments will be served    With special guests:    -Naomi Zauderer  Executive director of NY Professional Nurses Union,  and co-chair of the WFP Manhattan Chapter    -Hon. Dick Gottfried  Chair of the NYS Assembly Health Committee    -Steve Max  Founder of the Mid-West Academy    Moderated by Jeff Gold of Metro NY Health Care for All, and the  Institute for Rational Urban Mobility (IRUM)    While some three million New Yorkers are without health care,  proposals to address the problem are attacked by the insurance  industry and its political allies as "socialized medicine".  Yet a  study by the Harvard School of Public Health in
 February 2008 shows  that of those with some understanding of the phrase, 45% say a  socialized medicine system would be better than what we have now, and  another 16% say they don't know or it would be about the same.  Among  Democrats, fully 70% say socialized medicine would be an improvement.  Come learn more about the current crisis, and what we can do about it.
