White House to hold healthcare forums across U.S.

Couldn't he have picked at leaste ONE conservative state? I guess he didn't really mean it when he said he would be bipartisan!

Iowa and N Carolina are hardly workers paradises....

W, Midwest, Northeast and South. He hit all 4 corners of the country...

I certainly would NOT call them conservative! Why Not Texas, Mississippi or North Dakota? Me thinks they don't want to hear from EVERYONE. Well picked for preaching to the chior

"The events will be hosted by the participating states' governors and will include doctors, elected officials from the Democratic and Republican parties, and "everyday" citizens, the White House said."

Hmmm.....I wonder if Nurses are the "everyday" citizens that they refer to?

Go to hhs.gov. I think it is all states. Georgia and a few others already had theirs.

I think all politicians like to preach to the Choir . I don't remember GW going to many uncontrolled forums , to talk to an unscreened audience .

It would be good to see all our leaders have to face their opposition as in , for example ,Prime ministers question time in the English house of commons . It would force politicians to actually debate , rather than grandstand .

Why look for solutions in the states with the worst track records for assuring affordable access to health care?

That's a very interesting opinion.
