Overpriced Healthcare Exposed: On the Road to Effective Reform or Last Ditch Attempts to Save our Collapsing System

Thursday, July 25, 2013, 7 pm

St. Luke’s Community Health Education Center
3333 Squalicum Parkway - Bellingham
Near St. Joseph’s Hospital

With all the media coverage about overpriced health care, it appears that most solutions offered, especially the experimental measures contained in the Affordable Care Act, won’t save our overpriced, collapsing system. Instead of “reinventing the wheel”, we should utilize tried and proven health care cost containment measures.

We will show why the cost containment measures utilized by other developed nations result in per capita costs one-half those of the United States and why we should adopt those measures instead of embarking on costly experiments in a futile attempt to save our collapsing, over-priced health care system.
