AUSTIN — The Minnesota Universal Health Care Coalition and local supporters will present an informational session Wednesday at the Mower County Senior Center.

Two doctors will be on hand to answer questions and give presentations on health care in America. Also, state Sen. John Marty, DFL-Roseville, will speak.

The event takes place from 7 to 9 p.m. The center is at 400 Third Ave. NE in Austin. There is no fee to attend. Refreshments will be available.

The two doctors are Brian Yablon with Physicians for a National Health Program and Amy Lange of the Minnesota Universal Health Care Coalition.

A news release about the event states: “There are those who hear the voices and see the faces of people in need and yet they choose to turn away. This is truly awful. Fifty thousand people die every year in our country, due to lack of health care, and this is like a plane crashing every week. Most of us don’t even realize that we are on that plane! We can stop this!”
