BACKGROUND:
The cost of doing nothing about the Health Care Crisis is just too high!

Join AARP and the New York Amsterdam News for a town hall meeting and lunch with Congressman Charles Rangel to discuss how to provide all Americans with access to quality, affordable health care. Add your voice to the discussion that will feature a panel of distinguished experts, including former New York State Comptroller Carl McCall and representatives from AARP, Harlem Hospital, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the Business Roundtable.

The health care crisis facing this country affects us all. And the financial burden it's placing on millions will only get worse if something isn't done now. That is why Divided We Fail is coalling on Members of Congress to keep their promises and make health care reform a priority in 2009. Our country can't afford our broken health care system any longer.
Join us and make your voice heard at this Divided We Fail event.
