Courtney bringing health care roundtables to CT

As healthcare reform gains steam in Washington, Connecticut Congressman Joe Courtney will host two roundtable discussions on the topic in Windham and Norwich on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Courtney is on the House Education and Labor Committee, which helped to create the draft reform proposal. The draft proposal includes language that would ban pre-existing condition exclusions. 

The discussions will take place Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. at Windham Hospital, 112 Mansfield Ave., in Windham, and on Wednesday at 1:30 at Rose City Senior Center, 8 Mahan Drive in Norwich.

Courtney will be joined by healthcare experts and advocates, as well as residents who responded to a recent online survey from the Congressman's office.  The individuals will discuss difficulties they have had with the healthcare system and insurance industry.
