August 17, 2009 – Nebraska’s Senator Ben Nelson announced today that he is arranging a series of public meetings across the state to meet with Nebraskans about health care reform.
The first public meeting will be held in Omaha Wednesday August 19, 2009, at the Durham Research Center Auditorium on the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
The second public meeting will be in Lincoln on Thursday August 20, 2009, at 3 p.m. at Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital. The meetings are open to anyone who wishes to ask questions, state their concerns, or just listen.
“We’ve heard a lot of misinformation about health care reform and the public is rightfully concerned. I’ve already met personally with hundreds of Nebraskans and heard from thousands more. These public meetings will be an opportunity for me to hear from even more so I can be sure that Nebraskans’ views are included in the health care debate in Washington this fall. It also will enable me to answer Nebraskans’ questions and let people hear directly from me what my position is on an issue that affects all Americans,” said Senator Nelson.
Details of the Lincoln Public Meeting:
DATE: August 20,2009
TIME: 3 p.m.-4 p.m. CT
LOCATION: Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital Therapy Gym, 5401 South Street, Lincoln
TOPICS: Health care and other issues important to Nebraskans
