"Governor's Dialogue on Health Care Vision and Values," resume this
week, with sessions scheduled for today in Pueblo and Colorado
Springs. The meetings are part of a two-month, statewide outreach
program to solicit input from business, civic and health care leaders
regarding health care reform.
The Pueblo forum is scheduled for 7 to 9:30 a.m. today (Nov. 28) at
the Pueblo Convention Center, 320 Main St.
The Colorado Springs forum is scheduled for 4 to 6:30 p.m. today at

The "Governor's Dialogue on Health Care Visions and Values" involves
11 meetings around Colorado in November and December. About 60
community leaders are invited to participate in the structured
meetings to address questions such as: Who should pay for people who
can't afford health coverage? What form of coverage should they get?
What is the role of government? What is the role of employers? What is
the role of individuals?
The public is invited to attend each meeting and provide verbal and
written comments.
