Roving Camera

Do you think the much publicized town hall meetings have helped or hurt President Obama’s health care reform plans?
	Health care is definitely for the people, all of the people. I had the good fortune to travel abroad when I started my professional career out of college, and I found that people in Paris and England and other places were doing their best to make health care available to everyone with little to no cost.	Dr. Peggy Brown Educator Boston
	Unfortunately, al lot of [the] town meetings have had a negative tone set, which allowed misinformation [to spread]. People needed to go into it with an open mind to see how it actually affects them.	Richard Ward Consultant West Roxbury
	I think the president’s doing a good job, but when people started talking about [how his plan is] going to hurt more than help, I started thinking that it was a big right-wing strategy.	Michael Pleas Student South End
	The right wing and media both manufactured and produced chaos by only showing the sensationalism, and failed to depict a sound view of this enormous health care package.	Troy Howell Student Boston
	Absolutely, 100 percent hurt it. Because what’s getting attention is the crazy people showing up to take the attention away from the issues at hand.	Megan Grant Teacher Mattapan
	It appeared to be going in the right direction for the president, but when the town meetings came around, it seemed like it just fell apart.	Hugh McCray Counselor Dorchester
