State leaders plan health care town hall in Everett on Monday

Posted at 12:11 pm by Jerry Cornfield

If Congress and President Barack Obama do reform health care, it will likely fall to state legislators to put the changes into place.

To that end, the leaders of the state Senate and House committees on health care will travel around the state next week and hold town halls to discuss the potential ramifications for Washington.

Their first stop is in Everett. The forum will be held from 7-9 p.m. in the first floor of the Snohomish County Administration Building at 3000 Rockefeller Ave.

Sen. Karen Keiser, chair of the Senate Health & Long-Term Care Committee, and Rep. Eileen Cody, chair of the House Health Care and Wellness Committee, will be the hosts.

You should know these two Democrats are working closely with the Obama Administration on the various reform proposals.

“We look forward to a rational, informed discussion about this issue,” Keiser said in a press release.

“We can’t continue to spend trillions each year on an outdated health care system that excludes millions of Americans. Some type of reform will happen, and states are going to be charged with implementing any federal changes. We want to discuss how reform could impact us here in Washington.”

Space will be limited so participants are encouraged to arrive early.
