Join Braver Angels ( a non-partisan group promoting respectful embrace of political disagreements) for a though-provoking debate on the subject of Medicare.   Hear speakers on both sides of the issue, or share your own thoughts.  A Braver Angels Debate is an opportunity both to exercise our minds and to open our hearts.  Unlike some debate programs, the point isn’t to win; it’s to understand the other side a little better.  A special parliamentary debate format, led by a specially trained Debate Chair. encourages everyone to participate, supports good faith, accurate disagreement, and promotes better understanding for all.
