Beckley, WV (HNN) – Demonstrating his openness to input from his Southern West Virginia constituents, Rep. Nick J. Rahall (D-WV) has four town hall meetings next week, including on Monday, August 31 at 1 p.m. on the Marshall University campus.
The Monday Town Hall will take place in the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center on Fifth Avenue in Huntington.
Although the event is free to the public, the limited theatre seating capacity means that a ticket will be necessary. They will be made available on a first come/first serve basis. There’s a two ticket per person limit.
Tickets will be available at the Marshall University Box Office from 9:00 a.m.-12 noon, August 31. Theatre doors open at 12:15 p.m.
Rahall will hold meetings Tuesday, Sept. 1 at the National Guard Armory/MEPS Center, Glen Jean, WV at 2 p.m.; Wednesday, Sept. 2 in the Roland P. Sharp Alumni Conference Center of the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, Lewisburg, WV at 2 p.m., and on Thursday, Sept. 3 at the Mullens Opportunity Center Outdoor Amphitheatre, 300 Front Street, Mullens, at 10 a.m.
These meetings will allow input on President Obama’s proposed universal health care program which is a bill containing over 1,000 pages. Although West Virginia has a significant number of low income residents relying on Medicaid, Medicare or no insurance, the Obama bill has drawn worries about socialized medicine, not being able to choose your doctor, and long waits in exchange for universal coverage removing the pre-existing condition stigma.
The administration maintains that if you like what you have, you can keep it.
