As most of you know, we have successfully had the towns of Windham and Coventry pass resolutions to support Universal Health Care. We are still going strong and are now doing the same thing in Mansfield. We will be presenting our resolution the Mansfield Town Council this coming Monday, July 14th @ 7:30pm. Come and show your support for a better health care system in Connecticut. We want the freedom the constitution guarantees Americans in our health care system! I can’t wait to see you there
Where: Mansfield Town Hall, 4 South Eagleville Road, Storrs-Mansfield, CT, 06268
Mansfield Caring Families Members will be hosting a forum on health care reform open to interested community members. This forum will feature guest speakers including: Jill Zorn-Universal Health Care Foundation, Kevin Grunwald-Mansfield Department of Social Services Director, Leigh Duffy- Mansfield Town Council Member, & local doctors.
This will be a great opportunity for community members to learn more about the issue of health care reform, what local efforts are underway to make health care more affordable & accessible for families, and to have their questions answered.
If you haven’t signed our petition in support of the Mansfield Health Care Resolution that is going before town council next week, this is a great time to learn more about the resolution & show your support!
The forum will be held next Tuesday, June 17th at 6:30pm @ the Mansfield Town Hall. Bring your friends & neighbors!!

A resolution has been composed and endorsed by the Mansfield Democratic Town Committee. Now we need your support! Come to our meeting this Wednesday, May 28th, 4:30pm @ Unitarian Fellowship of Storrs (46 Spring Hill Road).
All are welcome to learn more about what we are doing, or become involved! If you can’t make it to one of our meetings, feel free to stop by for a film on health care at the Mansfield Senior Center:
June 5th @ 7:00 pm we will be showing “Sicko”. If you haven’t seen it, its sure to get your blood stirred! If you have seen it- bring a friend who hasn’t!
June 12th @ 7:00pm we will be showing “Salud!” This is a great film about how a small nation manages to care for its people- and has implications for how we can improve our system.
We will also be holding a community health care forum on June 17th with individuals from many aspects of the health care field- including consumers and providers. Join your friends and family for a lively panel & discussion!
The Insur-Animals bring to life the inane way the current health care system is run, exposing the obvious question — why do we to allow the current system of coverage to stay broken?
