Archimedes Movement Members on KBOO Radio
Submitted by Roberta Hall on Fri, 03/20/2009 - 2:22pm.
Event Description
This coming Monday the 23rd at 11 AM, KBOO will air on its HealthWatch program: "4 Advocates Talk about Health Care Reform." The four are Betty Johnson, Mike Huntington, Joe Zaerr and Roberta Hall.
KBOO is at 100.7 FM in Corvallis, 90.7 in Portland, see the KBOO website for other availabilities, including listening live on the Web.
In this half hour session they'll talk about why House Bill 2009 needs to include a public plan offering health care, and a Health Authority, and why innovations at the state level are important.
If you have ever had any problems getting KBOO, be sure your radio has an aerial -- or just attach a wire to the aerial and raise it toward the ceiling (at my house we use a twistie to attach a wire to a plant hook on the ceiling--works great). If you're in the Portland to Salem area, KBOO is at 90.7--it's 100.7 in Albany and Corvallis.
Start Date and Time
March 23, 2009 - 11:00am
End Date and Time

We have three ways to help you remind them to be bold and set a course for Oregon's future health system.
