Welcome and Introduction of

Congresswoman Donna Christensen



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.
