You can read a report about forums that were held recently in Tifton, Georgia to discuss the issue of what to do about the cost of health care (Coping with the Cost of Health Care: How Do We Pay for What We Need?).  The report was prepared by Jill Severn and Jan Levinson, and the photos above and below were taken by Margaret Holt.  You can read the report by clicking on the download link above.

The following is an excerpt from a note from Margaret Holt:

The report Jan and Jill prepared and sent to you is an outstanding description of what we heard and experienced in Tifton.  We three agreed that the students were unusually impressive in these forums.  It was for me a real testimony to the value of inter-generational deliberations.  Also, as Jill pointed out in the report we had people who had health insurance and several who did not - this fact also heightened people's attentiveness to the forum.  Finally, as Jill stated at the beginning and end of the report, this experience is a real tribute to the power of the process of NIF.
