A coalition of health care advocacy organizations deemed June 7, 2006 a day of national recognition for House Resolution 676, the Universal Health Care Bill. On that day, Jim Lockhart, host of the public affairs Comcast TV series A Growing Concern, interviewed Teresa Keane, a registered nurse, about the merits of the Physicians National Health Care Program which, like H.R. 676, is a not-for-profit, universal health care plan. This program was cablecasted live and will be repeated on other Comcast Cable channels, including channel 11, which reaches almost 400,000 homes.

All over the country events were staged to call attention to H.R. 676. Many thanks to all the folks who made such a success of this recognition day! And many thanks to Jim Lockhart and Teresa Keane for doing such a great job covering the issue on the TV show!
