Allentown Townhall Meeting

Also tomorrow, there will be a townhall meeting in Allentown on health care. Details from the inbox:

On Wednesday, April 15, leaders from SEIU and the Health Care for America Now coalition will host a Town Hall meeting on the rising costs of healthcare for families in the Lehigh Valley. The event will take place at the IBEW Local 375 building from 6pm to 7:30pm. Public participation is greatly encouraged.

SEIU and HCAN are holding the town hall because crushing health care costs are jeopardizing American families, crippling businesses, and draining state budgets. 14,000 Americans lose their health care coverage everyday, and health care bills are responsible for half of all bankruptcies and home foreclosures.

WHAT: True Cost of Healthcare Town Hall meeting

WHO: Marc Stier, Pennsylvania State Director for HCAN

Gregg Potter, President, Lehigh Valley Labor Council

Members of the Lehigh Valley community

WHEN: 6:00PM-7:30PM, Wednesday, April 15, 2009

WHERE: IBEW Local 375, 1201 W. Liberty Street, Allentown, PA 18102
