You are invited to the 28th Annual Meeting of the Coalition for People from 4:45 to 8 p.m. Monday, April 19, in the Program Room of the New Haven Free Public Library on the corner of Elm and Temple streets.

We plan to have an evening of good music, food, socializing and productive discussion. Frank Panzarella and Friends will provide the music, we will provide the pizza (you may want to supplement that fare with pot-luck contributions), and Carl Berdahl will provide the stimulus for thought. The topic will be Single Payer and the Economy.

Mr. Berdahl is a third-year student at the Yale School of Medicine and plans to take a sabbatical this upcoming year to compare how doctors in the U.S. and Canada consider cost and resource utilization when making decisions. He is a member of Physicians for a National Health Program, an organization that focuses on educating health care workers and the general public on the need for a comprehensive, high quality, equitably-accessible healthcare program for all residents of the United States.
