Congressman James
Clyburn
Majority Whip House of Representatives
Congressman
Clyburn comments about health equity and the pivotal role
it must and will play in health care reform. "We Must Combine
HR 15
and HR 1296…" states Congressman Clyburn.
Proposed
Legislation Drafts:
HR
15 -- National Health Insurance Act (See PDF attachment)
HR 1296 ''Access for All Americans Act
(See PDF attachment)
The
documentary - The Deadliest Disease In America - follows
the story of four individuals, all of whom experienced racism
and discrimination in seeking medical care. The film also highlights
five organizations throughout the country, from New England to
Texas, that are making significant strides in resolving this crisis.
The
Deadliest Disease in America gives voice to many stakeholders
joining a wave of activism and a movement for change that has
been sweeping across the nation with the ultimate goal of a universal
health care system that serves all equally, eliminating disparate
treatment based on racial and ethnic differences.
