A  Texas Representative for the House of Representatives has scheduled a Health Care Town Meeting in a Funeral Home. Ted Poe is a conservative congressman.

From:www.hcnonline.com

“Rep. Ted Poe will hold a town hall meeting at Brookside Funeral Home on Saturday, Aug. 22 at 10 a.m. with the primary focusing being health care reform.

Brookside Funeral Home is located at 3410 FM 1960, Houston.”

From the Congressman’s Website in a speech on the the Floor of the US House of Representatives.

“Mr. Speaker, when government runs health care, senior citizens sometimes are refused treatment because of their age. In Sweden, an 83-year-old woman was refused medical surgery by the government-run hospital. They said she was just too old for treatment. Marianne Skogh had pain and numbness in her legs for 5 years. She waited more than a year trying to get approval for back surgery to cure the problem. She was rejected by the government”

No matter what side of the issue you are on it is a creative stunt (Health Care Town Hall in a Funeral Home) that should be applauded. Will there be a funeral for our health care system or the health care bill? Or both?
