NEW BRITAIN DELEGATION TO PARTICIPATE IN UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE FORUM

Who: National Association of Social Workers - Connecticut
Senator Donald J. DeFronzo (D-New Britain)
Representative John Geragosian (D-New Britain)
Representative Tim O’Brien (D-New Britain)
Representative Peter Tercyak (D-New Britain)
Representative Betty Boukus (D-New Britain)

What: Will participate in a forum on universal health care

Where: Central Connecticut State University
Alumni Hall, 1615 Stanley Street, New Britain

When: TOMORROW, April 5, 2007, beginning at 4:00 p.m.

All members of the media and the public are invited to attend.

There are some great opportunities this year to win legislation to ensure that everyone is able to have affordable health care coverage. Good universal health legislation would lower health insurance costs for most people and businesses and extend good health care coverage to the 400,000 people in Connecticut who lack health care coverage and the thousands more who have costly and inadequate coverage.

I want to be there and hope that I am. If might not be in attendance, though, because of the hearing on the Judiciary Committee on the nomination of Chase Rogers to be the Chief Justice of the state Supreme Court. This is a very important hearing, especially given the problem exposed regarding the nomination of Peter Zarella as Chief Justice and the apparent effort to rush his nomination through the legislature without proper scrutiny by the public and the legislature.

But I encourage everyone to attend the forum at CCSU tomorrow.
