SUMMARY:Book Club meeting
DESCRIPTION:Here Comes the Sun: A Last Chance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for Civilization by Bill McKibben \nOur climate\, and our democracy\, are melting down.  \nBut Bill McKibben\, one of the first to sound the alarm about the climate crisis\, insists the moment is also full of possibility. There is a hope―in McKibben’s eyes\, our best hope for a new civilization: one that looks up to the sun\, every day\, as the star that fuels our world.

SUMMARY:The Health Care Crisis &  The New York Health Act
DESCRIPTION:Why do we pay 2 to 4 times as much for medications in the US than in Canada? \nDr. Rosemary Batt\, the Alice HansonCook Professor at the Cornell University school of Industrial and Labor Relations\, and Susan Beckley\, a proponent of the New York Health Act\, discuss health care financing and the New York Health Act on Thursday May 7th\, starting at 6pm at Tompkins County Public Library Borg Warner Room (101 East Green St. Ithaca NY 14850.) The talk is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Tompkins County. \nIs the American Health Care system broken? Why is it hard to find a primary care physician? Why do you have to wait weeks to get an appointment? Why do you get sent to an urgent care clinic or the ER when you are sick instead of seeing your primary care physician? \nWhy are infant mortality rates and maternal mortality rates significantly higher in the US than in Canada or other wealthy countries? (Canada 3.74\, New York State 4.1\, Cortland County 8.5\, Cayuga County 8.6\, Tompkins County 6.0 –2024 or 2025) \nThe United States spends nearly twice what Canada and Europe and other wealthy countries spend per capita on health care–$14\,800 in the US vs $7000-$9000 in Canada and Europe. Andi n those countries all citizens have comprehensive health care\, including long term care. And in spite of the high cost of healthcare in the United States\, we have shorter life expectancy. \nWhy do all citizens in every other wealthy country have access to health care but in the United States\, 27 million Americans do not have health insurance? The increasingly high cost of health insurance with high deductibles\, high copays and out-of-network costs leave millions of Americans in debt and hesitant to use health care. Medical debt is a leading cause of bankruptcy in the US–62% of consumer bankruptcy. \nDozens of hospitals in rural Upstate New York are at risk of closing. Medicaid and Medicare payments to doctors and hospitals are at rates that are not sufficient to keep rural hospitals open and draw doctors to practice. Rural hospitals with more uninsured patients provide care for which they are not reimbursed. Many rural New York hospitals have closed or are closing some services. Cayuga Medical Center no longer admits children. Children who require\nhospitalization are sent to Syracuse or Rochester
