The event is intended to serve as a forum for the general public to express their comments, concerns, questions and related experiences with regard to the current health care system, as well as a final opportunity to discern the provisions of the health care reform plans currently before Congress. “This forum represents an important opportunity for our elected officials to gain an appreciation for the prevailing public sentiment with regard to health care reform,” said Robin Wilt, co-founder of Progressive Democrats of America’s Genesee Valley chapter.
