Citizens League Upcoming Events: Policy and a Pint and a ChangeMakers

Join the Citizens League at one of our upcoming events: Policy and a Pint or The ChangeMakers!


Policy and a Pint: Health Care Handcuffs
Wednesday, March 7
Doors - 5:30 p.m.
Program - 6:00 p.m.

It wasn't that long ago that the suggestion of state-managed healthcare was branded as "socialism." Today the question of how to deliver health care to all Americans is still a significant challenge. Join us to talk about how healthcare got tied to employment in the first place, how unlocking it would change things up, and what all this might do to the economy -- and your job.

With: Chris Farrell (Minnesota Public Radio's chief economics correspondent) and Steve Parente (Medical Industry Leadership Institute, University of Minnesota). Moderated by Steve Seel, 89.3 The Current DJ.

Presented in partnership with the 89.3 The Current and sponsored by Halleland Lewis Nilan & Johnson.
