What:  "Knowledge is Power: All-Clergy Breakfast on Health 
  Care"

Why: Our Health Care system is in trouble.  Will the 
religious community take a place at the table 
when the community's health care is at stake?   
This event will be an Interfaith Breakfast of local 
religious leaders who will gather to consider what 
the religious institutions can do in order to have a 
positive effect on health services in the community.  
Recognizing the critical role of government, the 
keynote speaker will be the Comptroller of the State 
of New York, Rev. H. Carl McCall, who will discuss 
his office's troubling findings regarding the Child 
Health Plus insurance program.  Other presentations 
will involve the effects of managed care on the 
community, the current state of preparation for 
mandated Medicaid managed care, job losses in local 
hospitals, an enrollment campaign, and a moral and 
ethical response to a health system that appears to 
be disintegrating in the nation's largest city.
