** Advanced Sales have ended at WMNF, by phone & on-line, but we have plenty more to sell at the door.  It opens at 7pm.

This event will feature the founder of a $250 million dollar manufacturing business who thinks the time has come for single payer health care — For the benefit of his company, his employees and for the country.

We’ll also hear from a former health insurance executive who has blown the whistle on the practices of the industry that put profits ahead of people.

Could a single payer system help both small and large businesses succeed?

How does employee health insurance affect a company’s bottom line?

Are you satisfied with the costs and quality of care with your current insurance plan?

Would Medicare-for-All improve or worsen healthcare in the U.S.?

Get answers from Richard Master, a successful business owner and current CEO of MCS Industries.

Richard  Master is the founder and owner of MCS Industries, a world leader in the picture frame and decorative mirror business. Like most US companies, he faces relentless annual cost increases to provide health insurance for his employees. He decided to tackle the problem of healthcare using best business practices… doing in-depth analysis, finding the right diagnosis and then determining the fix.
