PSA: Health care forum

The Citizens' Health Care Working Group is hosting a discussion of health care issues with invited speakers. "The Working Group is charged by Congress to engage the American people in an informed national public debate to help make choices about health care services Americans want covered, what type of coverage is preferred, and how Americans are willing to pay for health care coverage."

It's free, but requires advance registration (see below).
