Many subscribers to LIST.HEALTHPLAN, from which this message is being sent (and via which you receive announcements on health-care reform from the White House), have asked for an electronic forum for back-and- forth discussion of health-reform issues. I am pleased to direct you to the very active electronic mailing list called HEALTHRE (for HEALTH REform). This is a place where you can post your comments and read comments from others. To subscribe to HEALTHRE, send a note to: ON BITNET: LISTSERV@UKCC VIA INTERNET: LISTSERV@KUCC.UKY.EDU The following should be the first line of the message: sub healthre your_name ... where 'your_name' is your correct and complete electronic mailing address. If you are having any problems subscribing, send a note to Lee Hancock , who will be happy to help you. If you have comments to share with the White House, write to one of these addresses: PRESIDENT@WHITEHOUSE.GOV VICE.PRESIDENT@WHITEHOUSE.GOV --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some reminders regarding LIST.HEALTHPLAN: Please, never send a REPLY to anything you receive from the list. Your reply will go to the wrong address and may disappear altogether. Write a NEW piece of mail, addressed to me: sfreedkin@igc.apc.org Please follow the conventions outlined in YOU ARE ON HEALTH LIST, the letter you received when you first subscribed. Note that the word "UNSUBSCRIBE" does *not* get you unsubscribed; your message gets batched in with the SUBSCRIBE requests. The correct word is REMOVE. If you need another copy of YOU ARE ON HEALTH LIST, please send me a message with this Subject: SEND WELCOME LETTER ONLY Whenever specifying your electronic address in mailing to me, be sure to include your FULL INTERNET ADDRESS with all suffixes. If all you have is a BITNET address append ".BITNET" to the end, as in: JOHN_DOE@COMPUTER.BITNET Otherwise, include everything after the "@" in your Internet designation. If you have questions about this ask your local system administrator. (Please note that your address cannot contain commas or blank spaces.) This list is handled manually, not with list-serving software. Please be patient when making requests. I am in need of a couple of volunteers who can spend about one-half to one hour every day or two on list-management activities (basically word processing and emailing); if you're interested send me a note with the Subject: VOLUNTEER LIST.HEALTHPLAN Thanks! -- Steve Freedkin Manager, LIST.HEALTHPLAN | I am reaching you from PeaceNet, an information service operated by | | the non-profit Institute for Global Communications (IGC).
