Achieving Health Care for All
July 26th, 2007
'Achieving Health Care for All' Community Forums
If you attended last week's health care forum, sponsored by the Health Care for All Campaign and other groups, you know it was as fascinating as the room was packed. If you missed it, you'll have several more chances to attend a forum throughout the summer. These meetings are always free, open to the public, and give you a chance to talk about the prospect of universal health care in New Mexico.
