About the Event
Remember those crazy, wild health care town hall meetings this summer? You saw them covered non-stop on TV, you heard about them on the radio, but did you actually go to one? If not, now's your chance to get caught up on everything you need to know about the health care debate, from some of the country's biggest experts. Join Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski -- hosts of MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' and 'The Joe Scarborough Show' on 77 WABC Radio -- for the 77 WABC 'Health Care Town Hall' at the 92Y Tribeca in Manhattan. They'll moderate a dynamic panel of journalists, doctors and public officials, digging deep into the big issues on the health care problems facing our country. If you still don't know what the "public option" is, or haven't a clue what the "trigger" is, then don't miss this event. It's free to the public, and yes, there’s a cash bar.

About the Sponsor
Family Trusted Child ID was created at the request of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), the nation’s resource on child protection and coordinator of missing children searches with local law enforcement officials, the FBI and INTERPOL. Family Trusted Child ID is supported by NCMEC and is NCMEC’s Only Provider of Online Child IDs.
With a Family Trusted Child ID, a child’s photo and information are always ready for immediate use in an AMBER Alert, and by law enforcement and the NCMEC.
A Family Trusted Child ID account is a virtual vault where parents can store photos and information of their child to be used in case a child goes missing. No one can access a Family Trusted Child ID account or personal data without a user ID and password. This avoids misuse of information.
