Minnesota Majority and the Citizens Council on Health Care are teaming up to host 3 "webinars" on market based health care reform.
“Virtual Town Hall Meetings” Announced to Spur Public Dialog on Minnesota Health Care Reform Proposals
Minneapolis, MN- December 14, 2007 – Two groups involved in Minnesota’s health care debate have joined forces to announce a series of virtual town hall meetings to address proposed health care reforms. Citizens' Council on Health Care (CCHC) and Minnesota Majority will host a series of Internet-based conferences to educate the public on the issues surrounding various health care reform proposals and solicit citizen feedback on alternative reform measures.
The virtual town hall meetings will be held from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. on January 8, January 23 and February 7, 2008. Each event will accommodate up to 1000 participants and will be free-of-charge. Legislators from both sides of the aisle will be invited to present their proposals. The public will have the opportunity to ask questions to the presenters and provide feedback on reform proposals. Individuals can register for the event by visiting www.HealthCareMeeting.com.
"We wanted to provide a more convenient and effective method of encouraging a public dialog on important public policy issues that impact people’s lives,” said Jeff Davis, President of Minnesota Majority. “The virtual town hall meeting offers busy families a way to take a few minutes out of their day and step into the public square without leaving the comfort of their homes.” Davis believes that environmentally-conscious individuals may prefer the virtual meeting approach since no fossil fuels are burned travelling to and from a physical meeting location. (is this last sentence tongue in cheek??)
Twila Brase, President of CCHC, is optimistic about the potential benefits. “The online tools will allow participants to submit their questions to legislators and be get immediate responses,” said Brase. We expect health care to be a hot topic during the 2008 legislative session. These town hall meetings will put legislators and the public at large in the same virtual room for a meaningful statewide dialog on this critical issue.
