Worthington Health Care Forum

October 20, 2008| Posted in Health Care, Past Events

A group gathered this afternoon in the Elks Club in Worthington, Minnesota.  DFL candidates Richard Peterson and Mike McCarvel attended.  The discussion centered on the increasing costs of health care in rural communities and the difficulties of local small businesses to continue to provide coverage, especially family coverage, to employees.  I was heartened by the strong support for covering all kids with health care — as a moral issue, as a child welfare issue and as a way to relieve stress from small businesses.

Thanks to Debra Hogenson for arranging the forum.
