Olson has authored several health care bills in the Minnesota Legislature, including one to promote a small business pool for health insurance, but Tuesday’s forum will focus on national plans, not state plans.
The Obama transition team is asking for health care community discussions to be held between Dec. 15 and Dec. 31. The transition team will prepare a report from the discussions for Obama.
In the mean time, the forum “was specifically organized in response to a request that President-elect Obama made for community input meetings,” says Olson, DFL-Bemidji.
State Sen. Mary Olson would hold a community forum Tuesday in Bemidji, as part of a nationwide effort by President-elect Barack Obama to gain input on health care.
