"Health Care: Basic Human Right or Privilege?"
with Dr. Stephanie Woolhandler and John Wilhelm
Keynote speakers Dr. Stephanie Woolhandler, a Harvard associate professor of medicine and cofounder of Physicians for a National Health Program, and UNITE HERE Hospitality Industry President John Wilhelm examine the viability of establishing a universal health care system in states like Connecticut, or nationally through a federal structure.

- The World Health Organization ranks the U.S. healthcare system at #37, behind all of Europe, Canada and Japan.
- 47 million citizens in the United States have no health insurance.
- The inability to pay medical bills is the leading cause of bankruptcy in the U.S.
This forum was cosponsored by the Connecticut Health Foundation and the Universal Health Care Foundation of Connecticut. To join the Campaign for Quality, Affordable Health Care, visit www.healthcare4every1.org

In Debt We Trust: America Before the Bubble Bursts $40 Video DVD
Video DVD: " In Debt We Trust: America Before the Bubble Bursts," Emmy award-winning award former ABC News and CNN producer Danny Schechter shows how the mall replaced the factory as America's dominant economic engine and how big banks and credit card companies buy our Congress and drive us into what a former major bank economist calls modern serfdom.
Americans and our government owe trillions in consumer debt and the national debt, a large amount of it to big banks and billions to Communist China.

American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America $40 Video DVD
Video DVD: " American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America," Chris Hedges, former Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times correspondent, Harvard Divinity School graduate and son of a Presbyterian minister, argues that the Christian Right in the U.S. resembles the young fascist movement in Italy and Germany in the 1920s and 30s, movements that often masked the full extent of their drive for totalitarianism and were willing to make concessions until they achieved unrivaled power.
Hedges challenges the Christian Right's religious legitimacy and argues that at its core, it is a mass movement fueled by unbridled nationalism and hatred for open society.
