Manzullo to Hold Health Care Town Hall Meeting Sept. 20 at McHenry County College
Crystal Lake,
Sep 2 -
Congressman Don Manzullo (R-Egan) will continue to seek the opinions of northern Illinois residents on the all-important issue of health care reform when he hosts his eighth town hall meeting Sept. 20 in Crystal Lake.
The meeting is open to the public and will be held from 12 to 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20 in the multi-purpose room (large gymnasium) in Building A at McHenry County College, 8900 U.S. Highway 14, Crystal Lake. Doors will open at 11:30 a.m. on the east side entrance to the building. The closest parking lot is Lot B.
Manzullo will spend the first 25-30 minutes of the meeting explaining the health care reform proposals before Congress, his concerns with H.R. 3200, the alternatives he supports to make health care coverage more affordable and accessible to Americans, and the legislative outlook for passage. The remainder of the meeting will be spent taking questions and comments from his constituents (speakers will be limited to 1 ½ minutes each).
Because the primary objective of the meeting is for Manzullo to hear from the people he represents, speakers will be limited to residents of the 16th Congressional District of Illinois, which includes about two-thirds of McHenry County. Signs will not be allowed into the building.
The MCC town hall will be Manzullo’s eighth town hall meeting in northern Illinois this summer. Nearly 2,000 residents attended Manzullo’s previous town hall meetings in Sycamore, Oregon, Elizabeth (2 meetings), and Rockford (3 meetings).
