Welcome to "MY" BedStuy-Crown Heights "Obama Care " Forum

"Obama Care"

This afternoon I had the pleasure of sitting on a community health care panel to discuss the Affordable Care Act "Obama care" and the criteria for Enrollment, its effect on Central Brooklyn residents and it's meaning for how health care will be accessed for the future. The enrollment process begins in October. However as a community we must be informed in order to take advantage of it's benefits. As we witness the countless hospital closings and down sizing of health facilities throughout the State we must keep our collective feet to the pedal of good quality affordable accessible health care delivery I shared the panel with Interfaith Medical Center director and CEO Luis Hernandez, Stefani Zinerman BedStuy Action Coalition as well as Dr. Katherine M Austin, who delivered a brief power-point presentation about ACA that was poignant and had an impact on those who attended. Lets Go BedStuy-Crown Heights!
