Description

Kentuckians for Single Payer Health Care invites you to join us in celebrating Medicare’s 58th Anniversary with a free showing of the documentary The Power to Heal narrated by Danny Glover.

In less than four months Medicare transformed the nation’s hospitals from our most racially and economically segregated institutions into our most integrated. Hospitals, which had for a half century selectively served people on the basis of race and wealth, were forced to care for all.

Medicare not only brought health care to our nation’s seniors but it ended segregation in hospitals with its insistence that only integrated hospitals could receive these funds.

We will be showing the documentary at Gateway Regional Arts Center and hold a live Q&A following the film.

Sponsored by Dr. Robert Toon & Dr. Edward Roberts. Presented by Kentuckians for Single Payer Health Care.
