On Sunday, September 14th, a diverse group of women gathered to have a conversation about the future of health care in Rhode Island and the country and to learn more about how we can work together to achieve access to quality, affordable health care for all.
The house party conversation was facilitated by Dr. Dannie Ritchie, Clinical Assistant Professor, Family Medicine for Brown University Center for Primary Care and Prevention and the Director of the Transcultural Community Health Initiative.
Sunday's party was organized specifically as a way to bring women together to talk about health care, but we are working to engage both women and men all over the state for future house parties to build our movement.

$1,000 per year of the premiums paid to United Healthcare to insure a Rhode Island family of four goes to profits not healthcare!
It's getting tougher every day to get quality, affordable health care, no matter how hard you work.
That's why Ocean State Action and our partners in RI's Health Care Organizing Project joined Health Care for America Now, a nation-wide campaign to organize millions of Americans to demand a guarentee of quality, affordable health care for all.
There is a huge divide between our plan and the insurance companies' plan for healthcare reform. We want to make sure you, and every American, have the quality coverage you need at a price you can afford. Insurers want to leave you alone to fend for yourself in the unregulated, bureaucratic health insurance market.
You can help us! Click here to sign on to Health Care for America Now!
Together we can acheive affordable, quality health care for everyone in Rhode Island and America. Let us know you're coming to the event by clicking here.
