TUCSON – U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords today announced that three town halls on health insurance reform will mark the end of a busy district work period.
Giffords has held more than 30 community meetings throughout Southeastern Arizona since the beginning of August. Among them was a question-and-answer session on health issues with seniors in Green Valley, a “Congress on Your Corner” in Douglas, a tour of a senior living center in Tucson and a meeting with health care providers and patients at Tucson Medical Center, the largest hospital in Southern Arizona.
Since May 26, when Giffords held her first town hall on health insurance reform, the congresswoman’s office has received more than 20,000 calls, emails and letters from constituents about health issues. This high level of interest was reflected at the May town hall, which attracted about 1,000 people. Giffords also hosted a July 27 telephone town hall on health insurance reform that had nearly 5,000 participants.
Giffords’ Health Insurance Town Halls will take place in Sierra Vista, Green Valley and Tucson. Details, including how to RSVP, are below.
