Jonathan Gruber: A Comic-Book Treatise on Healthcare Reform

Monday, January 9, 2012, 7:30 – 9:00pm

Downstairs at Town Hall; enter on Seneca Street. $5.

Poll after poll shows that most Americans are against healthcare reform, and most do not understand what is at stake, how reform works, or its consequences— and, says Jonathan Gruber, we really can’t afford to be ignorant of the facts. Superhero economist Gruber is here to save the day: a key architect of Massachusetts’ healthcare reform effort (and author of the graphic novel Health Care Reform), he discusses with Dr. Bob Crittenden of the Herndon Alliance why reform is essential, why this legislation is our best bet, and why it would be disastrous if we revoked it. Presented by The Town Hall Center for Civic Life, with University Book Store. Series media sponsorship provided by PubliCola. Series supported by The Boeing Company Charitable Trust and the RealNetworks Foundation.

Tickets are $5 at Brown Paper Tickets or 800/838-3006, and at the door beginning at 6:30 pm. Town Hall members receive priority seating.
