Moran Attempts to Explain the Health Care Myths
At Tuesday’s townhall hearing in Reston, Rep. Jim Moran had a difficult time explaining the health care myths to many in the audience. Of course, there were some who were enthusiastic about the proposed health care plan in Congress, but many of Moran’s constituents did not buy the so-called “truths” about the health care bill, H.R. 3200.
After Moran finished talking, it proceeded to a contentious Q & A period, which you can watch in much better quality video on C-SPAN. During this Q & A, there were a few fights that broke out among members of the audience.
We can’t afford this health care plan, especially with our government driving us into a $1.27 Trillion deficit. Perhaps, it’s time that the government address their spending issues prior to the passage of health care reform legislation.

Rep. Moran's Health Care Townhall Meeting
I will be posting more videos and pictures from tonight’s health care townhall meeting with Rep. Jim Moran and former Vermont Governor Howard Dean tomorrow and throughout the week. However, I just wanted to give a brief overview of what I had witnessed at the event. From the time I arrived at 3:30 p.m., I sensed that there was going to be a lot of energy going both for and against the Congressman. I stood with a group of activists who are against the public option and the Congress health care plan. It was contentious at best.
Here are some pictures from the event.
