(SAN ANTONIO, TX) – Congressman Lamar Smith announced today that he will hold constituent health care forums for the 21st District of Texas on Monday, August 24 in both Kerrville and San Antonio. Smith is also asking constituents to bring their opinions in writing and he will deliver them to the White House and Congressional Leadership.
“Americans are doing their homework on healthcare reform. And they’re right to be leery of government-controlled healthcare that will increase costs, eliminate jobs through punitive taxes on small businesses, and put a government panel between doctors and patients.”
“I believe Congress should pursue reform, but the legislation pursued by Democratic leaders will neither reduce costs nor improve care,” said Smith.
At the forums, Smith will talk to constituents about his health care priorities, listen to their ideas and concerns, and field questions.
