Here is a nice fluffy piece in the Brazil Times about Congressman Ellsworth visiting with Hospital Administrators in Clay County. How nice, what a shame he didn’t bother to have a town hall meeting while he was there. He may have actually heard from his constituents, and realized they don’t want a Government Takeover of their Health Care.

Recently, representatives from St. Vincent Clay Hospital were given the opportunity to meet with U. S. Representative Brad Ellsworth.

The meeting was set up to discuss current issues with healthcare reform and the impact on our community.

The meeting covered how most healthcare discussions leave many citizens confused about possible changes.

It was highlighted at the meeting that St. Vincent Health is committed to finding ways to help solve the ongoing healthcare crisis and achieving the goal of Healthcare That Leaves No One Behind.

The meeting also covered the importance of getting correct information out to the public.

St. Vincent Clay Hospital has served Clay County residents since 1928 and is a member of St. Vincent Health, a nonprofit, spiritually centered healthcare system sponsored by Ascension Health.

So we are all clear, if you are a Hospital Administrator you can ask questions to Congressman Ellsworth in person. If you are just a Constituent you can call in to a phone number and not get to ask questions.

Everybody should understand the rules by now!

  1. Mr. Burns can smell a press release from a mile away, which is exactly what that “fluffy piece” is.

    Not only is Rep. Ellsworth ducking his constituents who want the opportunity to ask him questions in a public forum, he is ducking the press too. That’s not to say the Brazil Times is the press, because Mr. Burns is highly skeptical of small town newspapers fulfilling their Fourth Estate role, but to give the impression even to our blogger Mr. Woodruff that a reporter wrote the story is disingenuous to say the least.

    The longer that Rep. Ellsworth maintains the charade that he is accessible to ‘we the people,’ the more vulnerable he is in 2010. Rep. Ellsworth, please don’t say that Mr. Burns didn’t warn you!
