American People's Online Health Summit

AMERICA NEEDS bipartisan health solutions that will not raise taxes, kill jobs, or impoverish our children by pushing the country further into debt.

WE NEED solutions that will put health back into healthcare; solutions that EMPOWER the individual.

We, at the Center for Health Transformation, have been LISTENING AND LEARNING from the American people and the leaders outside of Washington for years.

Welcome to the “American People’s Online Health Summit,” a forum for expert commentary, and for the American people to have a VOICE in the debates in Washington.  Learn more >>

A Message of Thanks from CHT's CEO, Nancy Desmond

Thank you very much to each of you who participated in the American People’s Online Health Summit. Thousands participated and the many passionate and thought-provoking comments demonstrated how strongly the American people feel about the health reform debate. Our online forum offered an opportunity for individual Americans to be heard as select legislators discussed reform at the White House.

Americans play a vital role in the reform process, and we are grateful for the time you took to be involved in today’s online event. We hope you will continue to monitor our site at www.healthtransformation.net  as we provide an overview of the summit.

We encourage and look forward to hearing from you in the future regarding your thoughts, comments and best solutions to reform our healthcare system.

While both sides suggested that there were some similarities in their approach to healthcare reform, what Americans saw were two political parties talking at each other and past each other.  Read more >>
