WHERE IS MY HEALTHCARE???
SING OUT FOR SINGLE PAYERSeptember 25, 2009, 7:30 PM
As the debate on how to resolve the nation’s health care crisis continues, one singular answer has been widely ignored in the public debate, despite its popular appeal: a progressively financed, comprehensive, universal health care system – otherwise known as single-payer. Get updates on the current bills in Congress and learn what you can do to get real health care reform passed.
The “Sing Out” presents musicians Jason Luckett (a Los Angeles based singer-songwriter who has been described as “Billy Bragg meets Stevie Wonder”) and Eric Schwartz (singer, comedian, and award-winning songwriter). Both Luckett and Schwartz were part of the “Sing Out For Single Payer” border to border road tour with Anne Feeney and dozens of musicians that started in La Jolla in July. Modeled after the traveling chautauquas of the 1930s they entertained, mobilized, educated, inspired and energized folks from La Jolla to Bellingham, WA.
The event will also feature a reading of Ladies for Single Payer, a new play by award-winning La Jolla playwright Anita Simons. The reading will feature some of San Diego’s finest actresses, including Jill Drexler, Dagmar Fields, Dana Hooley, and Veronica Murphy.
