WASHINGTON, D.C. -  U.S. Rep. David Price will continue the discussion on health insurance reform with Triangle residents by holding telephone town hall meetings.   The next available meeting will take place on Thursday, Sept. 3 at 7:30pm.

Residents of the 4th District will hear the Congressman’s views on proposals in Congress to reform the health insurance system, and they will be able to ask as many questions as time permits.

“The current debate on health insurance reform has led North Carolinians on all sides of the issue to express their views – including more than 1,000 Triangle residents who turned out to a town hall meeting in which I participated earlier this month,” Price said.  “The telephone town hall meeting will allow an even larger audience to participate in the discussion, and they won’t have to leave home to do it.”

Residents of the 4th District who wish to participate in the telephone town hall meeting must sign up online to participate.  By entering their information on the Congressman’s website, participants will be called and conferenced into the meeting just before it begins. As of 10 a.m. Thursday, registration to participate in the call has closed.

As Congress has been working on legislation to reform the country’s health insurance system, Rep. Price has engaged North Carolinians on all sides of the issue – discussing the major proposals and soliciting feedback.  In addition to the aforementioned town hall meeting, he has held dozens of meetings and open discussions with North Carolinians on health insurance reform over the past three months.
