Congressman Takes Comments On Health Care


by Tom Mongelli




President Barack Obama's prioritization of health care reform prompts a local Congressman to take your questions and offer explanations on Monday night.

Representative Rush Holt (D-12) begins his newest telephone town-hall meeting tonight at 7:40. It'll be a one-hour session. Members of Holt's legislative staff tell us that response is increasing in small but steady increments since he initiated them about a year ago. They're primarily aimed at, but not limited to, homeowners and taxpayers in his district.

Holt's 12th Congressional District cuts through the center of Monmouth, Middlesex and Mercer Counties. At the shore, it includes the areas around Oceanport, Eatontown, Tinton Falls, Red Bank, Little Silver, Rumson, Lincroft, Morganville, and Englishtown.

State and national proposals for healthcare reform ostensibly seek to guarantee the broadest possible coverage base with affordable rates. Federal proponents contend that their plan is not intended to replace private insurance concerns, but to compete with them.

The number to dial is 1-877-269-7289. Once you establish a connection, you'll be asked to enter a personal identification number. The PIN number is 13864.

Caveat: In previous sessions, given contact numbers have been switched without notice. To reach his West Windsor office beforehand, call toll free: 1-87-RUSHHOLT. Call before the close of business at 4 PM.
