Baron Hill held a Town Hall meeting yesterday at IUS. While there was some howling, it was, by and large, a civil crowd. A rough guess is that the opponents of health care reform outnumbered the supporters by a ratio of 3:1.
It is difficult for me to be objective about the opposition, so I won't try. My only observation about the opposition is that it is more about Obama than it is about health care.
As Baron Hill spoke, it became clear to me that my question posed throughout this series of posts has been answered by our Congressman. He's clearly on the side of meaningful health care reform, including a public option. I believe he personally supports an even more humane system than the public option, although he will probably not be given an opportunity to vote for such a choice.
Thank you Baron.
Meanwhile, Michele Bachmann, who long ago ran off the rails, appears to roll away even farther from the tracks.
