Health reform is heating up and AARP wants to make sure that we put a face on the problems of the health care system. On July 29-30, AARP will bring in 150 volunteers, staff and activists from across the nation to attend briefings and trainings on health reform priorities and advocacy skill sessions. The advocates will then fan out on Capitol Hill to engage their members of Congress on health reform in face-to-face conversations. In Pennsylvania,, Plymouth Meeting volunteer Ed Petersohn and Highspire’s Douglas Dockey will represent members from the Commonwealth.
"Given the current Congressional schedule for health reform legislation, it is very important that Members of Congress hear from their constituents both here in DC before they leave town, and in their Districts during the August recess, as well,” Government Relations & Advocacy Senior Vice President David Sloane.
