Solving the Ohio Health Care Crisis will be the topic of a public meeting today at the conference room of the ACVNA, 30 Herrold St. Every week, 14 people die in Ohio because they do not have health insurance. John Ross, M.D., past president of Physicians for a National Health Program and a practitioner and teacher of internal medicine at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center in Toledo, will discuss and illustrate the need for, and benefits of, a single-payer system. Bom Simiddie, main author of Health Care for all Ohioans Act (a current initiative petition), will discuss the significant savings to local schools and government with a single-payer plan. Come to sign a petition, ask questions and join in the discussion. For more information, call Arlene Sheak, Southeast Ohio SPAN at 592-1879, or see
