AAFP Telephone Town Hall: Straight talk about reform
 
Dear Member,

We are closer than ever to achieving significant health care reform in America. Unfortunately, propaganda and misunderstanding about pending legislation threaten to derail its success.

Join your peers one week from today in one of two Telephone Town Hall meetings to learn about health care reform and the Academy's position on pending legislation. The toll-free calls are limited to the first 1,000 participants.

Instructions and details for AAFP Telephone Town Hall meetings on Monday, August 31:

Call #1:
8 - 9:30 p.m. Eastern (7 p.m. Central / 6 p.m. Mountain / 5 p.m. Pacific)

Call #2:
10 - 11:30 p.m. Eastern (9 p.m. Central / 8 p.m. Mountain / 7 p.m. Pacific)

  • Call toll free (877) 757-0919.
  • Enter the appropriate passcode for the call:
    Call #1: 850029
    Call #2: 391251
  • Have your member ID (7165239) available to enter the call.
  • It will be a 90-minute operator-assisted call.
  • Responding to questions will be AAFP President Ted Epperly, MD, FAAFP; President-elect Lori Heim, MD, FAAFP; and Board Chair Jim King, MD, FAAFP. I will serve as moderator.
  • Submit questions in advance by 12 p.m. Eastern on August 31 to  healthreform@aafp.org. You may also email questions during the call.
  • Instructions for submitting live questions will be provided at the start of the call.
Arm yourself with the facts so you can be a "health care reform first responder" when patients, colleagues, and friends ask your opinion.
 
Thank you in advance for your interest and commitment.
 
 
Douglas E. Henley, MD, FAAFP
AAFP Executive Vice President
