Date published: 9/2/2009

Sen. Mark Warner will hold his first public town hall meeting on health care in Fredericksburg tonight.

Warner's event will be at the Fredericksburg Expo Center. It runs from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.; doors open at 6 p.m.

Warner's staff is asking people to RSVP online at warner.sen ate.gov/public/.in dex.cfm?p=townhall, but warn that RSVPing is not a guarantee of admittance, and suggests people get there early.

Warner has held two telephone town halls and held other meetings with constituents to talk about federal health care reform.

The Fredericksburg event, however, is the first in-person town hall held by either of Virginia's senators.

The expo center can accommodate 3,000.

There is no such provision in the stimulus bill. The panel is set up just like those of private insurance companies to recommend what should be covered. The panel will not use age or one's health condition to determine if it is covered. If I'm wrong, please show us in the stimulus bill where it is written now into law.

Insurance industry and a separate one from AIG. Think he really cares whether or not the insurance companies are reformed?

Very far, 76. He voted in favor of the stimulus bill (posted by mustang2 , Sep. 2, 2009 2:34 pm)    0 likes
which was released the day before the vote and a 300 page addendum added at 3 A M. The stimulus bill allocates funds for the creation of the panel who set standards for who will get which procedure based on their age and health condition. Many voters believe this was removed from the proposed health care bill but sadly it is already law. Warner is also in favor of cap and trade which will guarantee skyrocketing electric bills. Obama is on video tape saying exactly that.

What? (posted by Revolution76 , Sep. 2, 2009 1:36 pm)    0 likes
No comments? This should be an interesting event. Warner was a reasonable person as Governor so I look forward to his take on the health care issue. How far has he left the moderate position he used to maintain?
