The Debates: Healthcare Cabaret

Sunday, October  20, 2019
South Oxford Space, Great Room

We're three debates in and a LOT has been said about our healthcare system.
Our candidates are debating Healthcare, Health Insurance, Medicare for All, Obamacare, a Public Option, Reproductive Justice, Mental Health, and our changing Environment's impact on health. What's on the table? ​What should be? Where should voters' imagination be?
How will we choose our nominee?
