SEANC Town Hall at St Matthew AME

Location(s)

All SEANC and community members are invited to attend a town hall meeting in your area over the next three weeks to share your health care concerns and to hear local experts discuss the dire need for health insurance reform. SEANC also invited local congressmen, on a break from duties in Washington D.C., to join the town hall events.

“State employees are concerned about health care. Many of them can’t afford to cover their spouses or children on the State Health Plan, adding to the growing number of uninsured North Carolinians,” said SEANC Executive Director Dana Cope.

Last year, SEANC’s delegates voted to “support federal and state legislation to provide access to quality and affordable health care for all U.S. citizens,” as part of SEANC’s Top Ten Policy Platform Objectives. To that end, SEANC supports a public health care option, which will expand affordability and choice for the uninsured. Members will share their personal stories with members of Congress, either in person or by letter following the town hall meetings.
