    KFAI program to discuss health-care reform

    By Casey Selix | Published Fri, Mar 27 2009 10:20 am

    If you’re interested in health-care reform, tune in Sunday (March 29) at 6 p.m. to KFAI’s WAVE project.

    Activist Zev Aelony will host an hour-long discussion with two key advocates in the single-payer universal health-care movement in Minnesota: Joel Albers, a health economist, pharmacist and founder of the Universal Health Care Action Network-Minnesota; and Dr. Ann Settgast, co-chair of the Minnesota chapter of Physicians for a National Health Program.

    “We will discuss the prospects for major health-care reform in a time of economic crisis, how government-funded single-payer UHC [universal health care] is today what Social Security was to the New Deal in 1935,” according to an announcement from Aelony. 

    The WAVE project lets community members host programs of their own. Tune in to 90.3 FM in Minneapolis and points west;106.7 FM in St. Paul and points east.
