 | Coming Tuesday, March 19
Viewing of Healing US
Note Special Start Time: 5:00 p.m.

The League of Women Voters of the United States believes that a basic level of quality health care at an affordable cost should be available to all US residents.
Colorado has made some gains toward these goals in the last couple of decades, but there is a long way to go, particularly in controlling costs. The state legislature is currently considering a bill (HB24-1075) that would require a cost analysis of and potential legislation for a universal health care process for Colorado and an advisory board to oversee this process.
At this briefing, LWVD will show the documentary Healing US. This film illustrates the costs of our current insurance system and the potential for looking at coverage in a new way. Learning to talk about the challenges we face as we try to bring health care justice to the US is tough. The film shows us ways that others are talking about health care reform efforts across the country. It also show us ways that activism can stimulate the discussion.
Diane Dunn from Colorado Foundation for Universal Health Care will respond to questions after the film. You do not need to be League members to participate. Please notice the time, earlier than usual at 5:00 p.m. so that there is time for questions after the one hour and 14 minutes film.
| The Denver League Needs You!
There are several vacancies on the Denver Board that need to be filled at our annual meeting in May. We are confident that the League has members who can fill these vacancies, but we don’t know who you are. Please contact me to learn more about the specific vacancies and the skills and time required to serve on the Board and to be pressured to help the League stay competent and relevant in the years ahead.
