League of Women Voters to Host Discussion on Reframing the Health Care Debate
Public Invited at 7pm on April 14th

Liz Baxter, Executive Director of The Archimedes Movement, will discuss the crisis in the U.S. health care system on April 14th at 7pm. The event will be held in the Board Room of the Multnomah County Building, 501 SE Hawthorne Boulevard, Portland. The event is free, and the public is invited to attend.
Oregon has one of the fastest growing rates of the uninsured in the nation. Health care premiums continue to rise sharply. The cost of healthcare in the U.S. is twice that of other countries yet the quality of care and the outcome is frequently less. The discussion is aimed at finding a solution that invests in our health and guarantees all families affordable, quality health care in Oregon.
Liz Baxter joined forces with Governor Kitzhaber in October 2005, working with him to launch the Archimedes Movement with the goal of finding solutions to common problems facing Oregonians. (www.WeCanDoBetter.org). Their current focus is on the crisis in the U.S. health care system.
