Student Tribune
Participate in a Public Forum on Health Care
MCC faculty, staff, and students can participate in a forum convened
by The Democracy Commitment at Monroe Community College and Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle on ensuring access to health care while controlling
costs.
The forum is one of the Democracy Commitment's efforts to provide a
platform to discover common ground through dialogue and deliberation about our
most pressing issues in collaboration Initiative with Public Agenda, Kettering
Foundation, and the USA Today Network in The Hidden Common Ground. For more

This forum is an opportunity to deliberate together about how we can
best ensure access to affordable and quality health care in the United States.
We will use an issue guide providing three options that have presents tradeoffs
we need to consider. While this is a difficult discussion, it is one we must
have together.
The options we will consider for improving health care in the United
States include a single public health insurance program, adjusting the current
mix of public and private insurance plans, and increasing individual choice of
health care coverage. You can read about each option in the free downloadable
document at the NIFI website: https://www.nifi.org
/en/issue-guide/health-care-2020
We will explore each option in more detail during the forum.
