"SOMERVILLE - Senator John F. Kerry told thousands of people gathered for a town hall meeting last night that millions of Americans will lose their jobs in the next five years if Congress does nothing to change the nation’s health care system. Kerry addressed a mostly friendly crowd of about 2,800 at Somerville High School, where the auditorium and gymnasium were packed with those interested in the proposed national health care overhaul."

Nice to see such a huge turnout and folks passionate about the issues but as expected the hard questions were not really answered, such as how is health care delivery going to be reformed and Ins/Pharm industries controlled. I would have liked to have heard a question about serious campaign finance reform, which is at the root of why we don't get the changes that many want. I was glad to see Kerry's passion on the environment.
