Town Hall Meetings On HealthCare - Sham Or Legit?

[ExecutiveIncome2You]

Over the past few weeks many many towns & small cities in the United States have hosted 'town hall' meetings regarding the new healthcare bill. While some say these are just concerned citizens who need more information, others claim the meetings are organized and the people are instigated by GOP operatives, yet others claim these people are just extremely confused and are twisting the facts.

What is your take on these town hall meetings? Are they legit? How could the government(both local & federal) help handle these gatherings in a way to educate people on the new healthcare plan so they can make a truly informed decision?

I'm looking forward to hearing your opinion!!!

It's a combination of both. The town halls are trying to be legit, but you have 2 obstacles here. You have special interest groups sending people to the meetings to keep things stirred up. Secondly, you have individuals who really are concerned but have been misinformed by these same special interest groups showing up to voice concerns that really aren't legitimate.
