Public participation needed for health care reform discussion

OLYMPIA – Got an idea to help fix our health care system?

The Washington Senate has scheduled a two-day electronic town hall meeting on health care reform and invites the public to participate in the discussion.

The on-line meeting, held January 22 and 23, will be a comprehensive discussion concerning health care reform in Washington, including issues of affordability, choice, and availability. Participants can ask questions, add comments, share stories and make suggestions on how to improve the delivery of health care in our state. Registration is free and citizens are encouraged to register in advance.

“Health care affects every single person in this state,” said Senate Health & Long Term Care Chair Karen Keiser, D-Kent. “This is an excellent opportunity for citizens who can’t easily get to Olympia but still want to be involved in the political process.”

Panelists will include Keiser, Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler, members of the Senate Health & Long Term Care Committee, and health care professionals.
