Health Care Town Hall

A partner Tea Party group in Columbus has put together a Health Care Town Hall meeting. Here are all the details...

I am pleased to announce that we have now set up a town hall on health care to provide information to our area. This will have the following format: each panelist will have approximately 4 minutes to present their information about the health care legislation passing through Congress. Then the program will be opened to attendees to ask questions. Questions may be directed at a particular panelist, or to the panel at large. Our panelists will include two physicians (an ophthalmologist and a hospitalist), an attorney and an independent insurance company president. We may have a third physician, but this may not be certain until the last day or two prior.
Where: Columbus Main Library in the auditorium, 3000 Macon Road
When: Thursday, July 30th, 6:00-7:30 PM EDT We have reserved the library room starting at 5:30 and until 8 PM closing.

Seating will be limited to 120 attendees. If you plan to attend, please email me so that I can keep track of our member response. I do not want people to make the trip and there is no room available. If you are attending and would like to present a question, please email your question. We would like to have some questions to begin lining up people who wish to participate in the question and answer period..

What I hope will work out for this event, and I will know on Monday, is that I have been in discussions with WRBL- TV about increasing the dissemination of our program. We are meeting at the library on Monday to determine if a live video stream could be set up for the town hall. This would mean our entire town hall would be available at their website for real time viewing. I will send an email to the volunteers assisting at the event if we do this webcast, so that we can plan how we handle the questions and provide assistance to those attending.
