Area residents talk health care reform

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - Several hundred Wabash Valley residents listened in to a telephone town hall with Rep. Brad Ellsworth.

Ellsworth spent an hour answering all sorts of questions about health- care reform from his Evansville office Saturday morning. About 325 people in the Eighth District signed up to participate.

Ellsworth said it's too early for him to form an opinion on any specific bill, but some participants wanted more of a detailed opinion from him.

"I believe that getting it right is more important than getting it done fast," said Ellsworth. "I can do this incrementally. I'm fine with that."

Ellsworth hopes to hold more telephone town hall meetings but none are scheduled yet.
