Town Meeting and Radio Interviews

If we ignored the candidates and instead sat down with each other, we could find common ground on health care.  Governor Arne Carlson, R, Minnesota, outlined ways they created insurance pools for the uninsured and used a 2% tax on providers to finance the care.  Minnesota now has 92% of it’s with insurance coverage.

These ideas and others will be explored with Governor Richard Lamm, D, Colorado, at CodeBlueNow’s Health Care Town Meeting on Thursday, September 18th at the Bell Harbor Conference Center on Seattle’s Waterfront.  The program starts at 7pm.  Registration fee:  $10.

Kathleen and Governor Carlson will be on KUOW “The Conversation”  at 1 pm PDT, Thursday, September 18th.  Out of town listeners can go to:  www.kuow.org

They were on the Dave Ross Show on KIRO 710 yesterday.  You can find out more here. 

Cheers and more later.   Kathleen
