DFA meetup: Healthcare issues and the 2018 election

  • Valentine Hall United Lutheran Seminary Gettysburg PA 17325 (map)

Gettysburg Democracy for America welcomes Robin Stelly, Statewide Organizer for the Pennsylvania Health Access Network (PHAN). Robin will address the potential impact of the November elections on access to healthcare in Pennsylvania. 

At stake are the future of:

  • pre-existing condition protections,
  • Medicaid work requirements,
  • Medicaid expansion,
  • privatization of Medicare
  • and even the overturning of the Affordable Care Act, potentially leaving millions without coverage.

A second big feature of the meeting will be the launch of our Healthcare Task Force’s Healthcare Voter Campaign. At the Heritage Festival and other events, the task force will be recruiting “healthcare voters” committed to protecting and extending access to care, registering new voters, and encouraging letters to the editor focused on the threats to healthcare we face in the midterm election.

Please come out for an interesting presentation and join us in our effort to protect and extend access to healthcare for all!
