Care Justice Agitators Unite to
THCC executive director Tony Garr begins the day by congratulating the audience on their efforts that resulted in the recent health care reform victory ... but reminded them that the work is far from over!
Nationally recognized health policy expert Gordon Bonnyman (who hails from Knoxville and lives in Nashville) Wowed! the crowd with his knowledge and dry wit as he discussed where we go from here.
Jessica Larochelle, Field Director with Families USA, complimented THCC and its supporters as some of the best and most dedicated groups in the country, and credited us as being an important part of the health care justice movement.
The all-day Saturday event was wall-to-wall discussion and learning, with nationally recognized health policy experts, including pictured above: Larry Goldberg, CEO of Vanderbilt University Medical Center; Jessica Larochelle of Families USA; and U.S. Representative Jim Cooper.
In addition to very special thanks to the guests mentioned above, THCC extends special appreciation to the following people, who generously gave their time and talents as guest speakers and workshop presenters:
5/28 MEDICARE SCAM ALERT: ATTN Medicare beneficiaries who qualify for $250 prescription drug rebate (new benefit of health reform), YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO ANYTHING to get the rebate check. Checks will be mailed to qualifying beneficiaries throughout the year. IF anyone phones, emails, comes to your door, or by mail claiming they represent Medicare, the government or any entity, and help you get a rebate or give you a rebate--report them to CMS. HHS Secretary Sebelius stated on May 27 that her office has been alerted that seniors and others are being asked to give personal and confidential info in order to get their rebate checks. This is a lie...a trick... a crime. Report any concerns to CMS. Federal Investment is an Outstanding Deal for Tennessee! A $21.5 BILLION DEAL!
The state of Tennessee has determined helping Tennessee families
and small businesses will cost the state $1.1 billion over 5 years,
or $220 million per year. This is a very modest investment given
that:

The first major civil rights legislation of the 21st century
happens with the passage of national health care reform! 
This year we have come to know just how tough
it is to forge a new reality whilst powerful forces defend a broken
reality. Despite the deeply entrenched status quo, our combined
efforts have resulted in reform that is not insignificant and reaffirms
that the moral arc of the universe does indeed bend toward justice.
