GOLD RIVER, CA (OBSNews.com) – If recent calls and correspondence to the Washington D.C. and Gold River District offices are any indication, Congressman Dan Lungren’s (R-CA) Town Hall in Carmichael Thursday evening could center once again on the topic of health care reform.

The House of Representatives narrowly passed H.R. 3962 after a very late-night vote Saturday in Washington D.C. The Democratic majority led by Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) squeaked the measure by on a vote of 220 to 215. Lungren, all but one of his 175 Republican colleagues and 39 Democrats voted against it.

Last week Lungren’s staff delivered copies of the bill to 29 public libraries in the Third District. A Republican alternative was also distributed.

Though the House measure passed, legislators are certain there will be a lengthy and likely contentious debate before a bill passes out of the Senate into the President Obama’s hands.

Event:

Congressman Dan Lungren Town Hall

When:

7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12

Where:

La Sierra Community Center
5325 Engle Road, Suite 100
Carmichael, CA 95608
