As President Obama pushes to enact an alternative plan, organizers and policy makers must work the devil out of the details. Join Momentum for a candid, up-to-the-minute conversation on where the debate stands, what is missing and how to best provide affordable healthcare access for all Americans. – Momentum Conference

Anthony Wright is Executive Director for Health Access California, the statewide health care consumer advocacy coalition which has been a leader in both state and national efforts to fight health care budget cuts, to win consumer protections, and to advance comprehensive health reform and coverage expansions. Wright led fights to pass a first-in-the-nation law to set standards for timely access to care, and a first-in-the-nation law against hospital overcharging of the uninsured, and to win a prescription drug discount program despite an $80 million industry campaign against it.

A consumer advocate and community organizer. Wright has been widely quoted in local and national media on a range of issues. He has also worked for New Jersey Citizen Action, the Center for Media Education, The Nation magazine, and in Vice President Gore’s office in the White House.

admin — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 12:16:26 +0000

This is a public service announcement reminding the Obama administration to file their taxes by April 15th and make sure they pay them in full! According to the YCC Platform:

VI. TAX RELIEF
· We believe that taxation is the transfer of money from the people to the government and as such, our tax code should be simple, uniform, and reward hard work rather than punish success.
· We oppose any tax proposal which harms the freedoms and spending power of American workers and families, as well as the nations largest employer – small businesses.
