Congress is currently working on legislation to reform and improve America’s health care system by lowering costs and expanding access to affordable health care. As you’ve probably seen in the media, the public debate over this issue has been robust. Many Americans are understandably concerned about what real reform would entail.
On Tuesday, August 25th, Congressman Moran will be holding a town hall meeting to explain what the health care reform being considered by Congress really means for Northern Virginians. He’ll take questions from the audience and we are also fortunate to have Howard Dean, physician, former Governor of Vermont, Democratic National Committee Chair Emeritus, author, and national grassroots leader join us for the meeting. The meeting will discuss current efforts in Congress to reform our nation’s health care system.
Congressman Moran has invited Dr. Dean to speak at this forum in Northern Virginia, to reflect upon the current effort given his years of experience as a leading health care expert, governor and physician. The town hall will be an opportunity for the Congressman to hear from 8th District constituents on health care, and to clarify what the reform measures in the Congress really mean for Northern Virginians.
We hope you will be able to come to the event on the 25th. For more information on the health care reform proposal Congress is considering, you can also visit the health care reform page on Congressman Moran’s website.
*This event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited, available on a first come first serve basis.

Attention on aisle 3: Yes, Safeway shoppers, that is U.S. Rep. James P. Moran.
Moran is bagging groceries today at the Safeway at the Bradlee Shopping Center in Alexandria from noon to 1. Why? Well, because who doesn’t enjoy having a powerful person bag their groceries? Also, to help out Safeway’s annual campaign to fight prostate cancer.
The company raises money each year to aide prostate cancer research–it’s raised almost $42 million over the last nine years. Appearances like Moran’s raise awareness and encourage giving.
