Rosemarie Day, author of “Marching Toward Coverage: How Women Can Lead the Fight for Universal Healthcare.”

With 28 million Americans uninsured, and millions more who can’t afford their coverage, an event next week asks: Can we, as a nation, do better? Rosemarie Day, health care reform expert and chief executive of consulting firm Day Health Strategies, believes we can and will – once women begin to engage collectively around this topic. She speaks at 6:30 p.m. June 8 at the Cambridge Main Library, 449 Broadway, Mid-Cambridge, to promote the release of her book, “Marching Toward Coverage: How Women Can Lead the Fight for Universal Healthcare.”

This discussion, followed by a Q&A, will focus on galvanizing women to take action to make health care a right in the United States, part of the library’s Women’s History Month programming. Books will be available for purchase onsite through Porter Square Books.

This post was updated to change the date of the event, which was postponed due to coronavirus concerns.
