Don't miss this important forum. Free and open to the public, no tickets or RSVPs required. A major strategic decision for healthcare is facing us: Should we advocate for a bold step forward or should we be wary of reaching too far, gaining nothing, and strengthening the dysfunctional status quo? Ed Weisbart MD, chair of the MO chapter of Physicians for a National Health Program, believes the time is now for single payer Medicare for All, that partial steps will delay the changes we desperately need while accomplishing too little for too few. Ken Schechtman, Professor of Biostatistics and Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine, agrees with the goal of universal healthcare but believes advocacy for Medicare for All is more likely to lead to the re-election of President Trump.

TIME STANDS STILL THEATER PERFORMANCE

New Jewish Theater

Time Stands Still revolves around Sarah, a photojournalist who has returned from covering the Iraq war after being injured by a roadside bomb, and her reporter boyfriend James who is swamped by guilt after having left Sarah alone in Iraq. The two are trying to find happiness in a world that seems to have gone crazy. Theirs is a partnership based on telling the toughest stories, and together, making a difference. But when their own story takes a sudden turn, the adventurous couple confronts the prospect of a more conventional life. Can they stay together amidst unspoken betrayals and conflicting ideals? Playwright Margulies answers these questions, while leaving unanswered qualms regarding the way America deals with war and tragedy coverage. Directed by Doug Finlayson; Cast Wendy Greenwood, Ben Nordstrom*, Jerry Vogel*, Libby Jasper
