The Time is NOW:
Let’s use our collective voice to inform health reform
The impetus to pass comprehensive health reform legislation continues to grow as an energetic Congress and new leadership in our federal health agencies provide unprecedented support for expanding access to quality healthcare. The road ahead is both exciting and full of the unknown. Congress is promising passage of healthcare reform this summer. Now is the time for us to come together in urgency and openness to articulate our shared principles that focus reform on what truly matters: improved health for individuals, families, and communities.
On June 17, 2009 from 12 noon to 4PM EST, individuals in the health community came together for an urgent meeting on healthcare reform. This meeting was convened in an open partnership between health organizations, including BIO, Coalition for Affordable Health Coverage, the Coalition for 21st Century Medicine, FasterCures, Genetic Alliance, Inspire, and Research!America. Individuals participated in the event by attending the meeting in Washington, DC and by sharing ideas, energy, and suggestions through an online blog and on Twitter.
