AAFP Congress to review proposal on coverage for all
Last year, the Congress of Delegates asked the Board of Directors to seek widespread input on the Academy's proposal for health care coverage for all and to fine-tune the document.
The Board, after receiving about 1,200 written responses to the proposal, has revised it, and the Congress will consider it Oct. 1 - 3 in Atlanta. To review the proposal, go to http://www.aafp.org/members/unicov/ with your AAFP ID number. Or request it via fax (see "Quick Fax").
Share your comments on the proposal in any or all of these ways:
- Talk to your constituent chapter leaders.
- Talk to your chapter delegates or alternates.
- Discuss your views at a town hall meeting on the proposal from 8 to 10 p.m. Sept. 30 in the Hyatt Regency Atlanta's International Ballroom South.
- Speak up at the Reference Committee on Public Policy, beginning at 12:30 p.m. Oct. 1 in the Hyatt's Regency VII room.
