Local M.D. To Speak At Republican Convention
Amador County physician Arnold Zeiderman and 10th
Assembly District Member Alan Nakanishi will be speakers at the California
Republican Party State Convention in San
Francisco, February 22-24. They are featured speakers at a health care forum
for convention delegates and legislators on Friday of the convention. According to the
Convention website, this is an educational forum designed to provide clarity on
fundamental issues and data on issues of health care costs, access, and quality
of care, consumer initiatives and patient advocacy.
The
health sector has grown to one sixth of our economy as extended life spans and
advances in technology continue to increase costs.
Budgeting, financing, insuring, oversight, quality control, affordability, and
availability together make this the major current domestic political issue, and
it will impact the upcoming election cycle. The panel of speakers that includes
Zeiderman and Nakanishi will attempt to identify solutions and remedies for
implementation by elected officials and health care professionals. Attendees
should leave with a clear understanding of the contrasting Republican and
Democrat agendas. You don’t have to be a delegate to attend the Republican
state convention, according to Zeiderman -- Guests may attend the Convention
for a $65 registration fee for the 3-day event, including workshops. The agenda and registration
information are available at on the web at www.cagop.org.
