Share your ideas!
Although America does not yet have a patient-centered health care system, we remain confident that your support, and the support of so many others, will bring about the change our health care system desperately needs. We would like to hear your ideas about moving patient-centered health reform forward.
How do you think our campaign should proceed? What would you change, and what would you keep the same? What kinds of activities do you want to engage in to support patient-centered health reforms? What messages should we use to bring more people into HealthCare REPAIR?
You can send your thoughts and ideas to us by emailing ideas@HealthCareRepair.org, or by leaving a voicemail message on our idea line at 1-800-819-5179. We look forward to hearing from you.
