CLAIRE, WE KNEW YOU WHEN

Claire McCaskill seems to have removed the St. Louis town hall meeting from her itinerary. Dana Loesch reported earlier that KSDK was saying that it had been called off due to security concerns. Was she afraid that the union thugs sent by the Obama administration might turn on her, too?

She has a mention of the cancellation at the bottom of her press release in very fine print that I made a bit bolder.

St. Louis Area: McCaskill Hosts Health Care Listening Forums Across Missouri in August

In St. Louis and Jefferson County, McCaskill hosts events to listen to concerns related to health care reform efforts


Register now for Jefferson County.


WASHINGTON, D.C. – As more and more Americans and businesses struggle to afford health care coverage, U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill has been hearing from Missourians who are concerned about health care reform efforts in Washington. During the August home work period, McCaskill will be traveling across the state hosting a series of town hall events and roundtables to gather input and listen to concerns.


On Tuesday August 11th, McCaskill will be in the St. Louis metropolitan area to host health care forums in St. Louis County and Jefferson County and she will tour a federally qualified community health center in St. Louis. Visit McCaskill’s website to sign up to attend the Jefferson County forum and the St. Louis County forum. For more information about these events and others around the state, please contact one of McCaskill’s five Missouri offices.

McCaskill is committed to reforming health care in America in a way that does not add to the federal deficit. As the health care reform bill makes its way through the relevant Senate committees, McCaskill will be looking for a bill that provides consumer choices, brings down the overall cost of health care and delivers better outcomes for patients. During her listening tour, she intends to gather Missourians’ views on health care and take them back with her when she returns to Washington to debate the health care bill in the fall.
