Obama holding health-care meeting in N.Va. today
Published: July 1, 2009
ANNANDALE -- President Barack Obama will hold another town hall-style session on health care today.
The online event will be held at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale starting at 1:15 p.m.
In addition to questions from those in the school's auditorium, questions also will come via Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.
Gov. Timothy M. Kaine and Secretary of Health and Human Resources Marilyn Tavenner will join the president at the forum.
The event will be moderated by the president's senior adviser, Valerie Jarrett.

Reader Reactions
The debate is still wide open on health care reform. This gives people who are not medical experts or lobbyists an opportunity to be heard.
Does anyone really believe this will be an “open” town forum?
Does anyone expect any tough question to reach Obama from those “submitted” over the internet?
Does anyone even expect a non-political operative will be allowed within several city blocks of NOVA CC?
This is a sham of a meeting to create the illusion Obama wants to hear from you and I.
