SUMMARY:Guidance for the Health Care Perplexed
DESCRIPTION:We all know what a huge rip off our health care system is.  But aside from just the extortion level pricing\, the system is rigged so well it is nearly impossible for even a prudent and well informed consumer to navigate and avoid nasty billing surprises.  Just a few examples: You make an effort to go to an in-network hospital and receive one or more out-of-network bills from doctors or other hospital staff\, often for astronomical sums of money\, and were given no warning of such.  You receive over a dozen different bills from one hospital stay in our fragmented system\, and they keep you in limbo for months\, sometimes even a year or longer\, after your procedure/discharge\, not knowing if you will receive another unexpected bill.  It is rare that any medical provider will disclose prices for a procedure\, etc. beforehand\, and often will not make clear whether or not it is covered by insurance.   Come to our gathering\, vent your frustrations\, and tell your horror stories\, or those of a family member or friend\, in dealing with the shenanigans of our health care system\, and then lets discuss how we can fight back.

SUMMARY:Health Care and Workplace Issues
DESCRIPTION:Need more incentive to stand up for better treatment in the workplace and worker’s rights on a wide range of issues?  How about the dismal state of affairs in worker treatment and protections being a major contributing factor to poor health\, including public health and safety\, and higher health care costs.  Discuss how chronic\, costly and often serious health conditions (ie: heart disease\, diabetes\, etc)\, as well as injuries (esp. auto accidents and workplace related) are exacerbated and made more common as a result of lack of worker protections\, lack of paid sick and maternity leave\, overwork and poor work/life balance and hostile work environments.
