Sign this month’s testimony to the Universal Health Plan Governance Board
This month we are focusing our testimony on encouraging the Governance Board to increase their public engagement options.
Read our open letter to the Board, and share with your friends, and family. The deadline to sign is Sunday, January 11th at 7:00pm.
We are asking for UHPGB meetings outside of working hours so working class people can attend, recommending a meeting place outside of Salem, encouraging their main contractor to have dedicated focus group sessions for workers and unions, and to prioritize the health care consumers focus group.
