[Peace] corrections to AWARE Upcoming Events -- CCHCC lawsuit, Kinzer visit

[Stuart Levy]

Two corrections and an addition to yesterday's list of upcoming events:


I had the subject of the CCHCC lawsuit wrong:

Wed 1/16  10:30AM    CCHCC offices, 44 Main St., Champaign
		(see the building's directory to check which floor)
   Champaign County Health Care Consumers
   ( http://www.healthcareconsumers.org/ )
   Press conference on the anti-trust lawsuit brought by the IL Attorney General --
   the only such suit in the US to be successful so far -- against Carle
   and Christie clinics, for conspiring to limit service to Medicaid patients
   who weren't already registered with their clinics.  See e.g.
     http://www.ag.state.il.us/pressroom/2007_06/20070614b.html
or
     http://www.healthcareconsumers.org/index.php?action=Display%20Page&id=545

   (see also the hearing on Thursday morning below.)

   (This is unrelated to the loss of tax-exempt status, for insufficient charitable
    activity, of Carle and Provena *Hospitals*; their exemptions were
    revoked within the last year or so, and at least Carle Hospital is
    suing to regain theirs, but that isn't at issue here.)


Thu 1/17 9:00AM Courtroom "F", Champaign County Courthouse
   Hearing on IL Atty General's antitrust lawsuit against Carle & Christie Clinics.



Re Stephen Kinzer's visit next month, Feb. 17th: location is now set.
And although he will have a new book, that's not the reason for his visit:

Sun 2/17, 3:00PM, Latzer Hall in University YMCA (1001 S. Wright, Champaign)
   Author Stephen Kinzer will visit C-U, speaking primarily
      about US policy with respect to Iran
  (or maybe policy with disrespect to Iran -sl:)
