Come join us in January for Health Action 2004. New this year: You can
now register and pay by credit card online. (Click on "Register Now,"
below.)

2004 will bring us challenges (can you say, "Medicaid and state
budgets"?) as well as opportunities (for instance, using the election
season as a springboard to generate public and media attention for
health issues).

Health Action 2004 is just what you need to get ready for the year
ahead.
You can:


* Meet others who are doing the same kind of work
* Reconnect with old friends
* Recharge your batteries
* Learn new skills from a wide array of well-informed speakers
* Share your victories and frustrations with advocates from
grassroots and national organizations
* Get that invaluable guide to the issues, the annual Health
Action Tool Kit
* Participate in an unforgettable dessert and Karaoke party
* Experience the unique Capitol Steps http://www.capsteps.com/

At next year's gathering, we'll focus on several broad issues: the
future of Medicaid, recent federal Medicare and prescription drug
legislation, private market and employer-provided health care, and
state strategies for universal health care, among others. Workshops on
a variety of topics will bring you up-to-date on the issues and give
you a chance to sharpen your skills. For more program details, see our
Web site.
