Disappearing Healthcare

2004 Mesa County Community Forums

 






On September 8, 2004, Grand Valley citizens gathered at Two Rivers Convention Center to 
evaluate a set of recommendations on the difficult issue of healthcare. We wanted to send a message to the current 
public officials and 2004 candidates to view healthcare coverage as a priority in the coming year. Participants 
discussed options at round tables and then gave their opinion using instantaneous electronic keypad 
technology.





Walk down Main Street. One out of every 5th person you see has little or no healthcare coverage.  
The uninsured are unable to access healthcare or wait longer to do so.  Either way, they become sicker and 
consequently the costs are more in the long run for both the uninsured and the insured.   These costs are the 
hub of our national healthcare crisis which affects everyone.   What alternatives are there to the current state 
of disappearing healthcare?  Can we, together, develop policy options that will make a difference?
