Retirees Grill Price on Health Care Overhaul
Attendees raised concerns about rationed care, cost of plan
RALEIGH (By David N. Bass, Carolina Journal Online) – There was no shouting or shoving, but residents of a ritzy retirement community in north Raleigh still had stern words yesterday for North Carolina Rep. David Price during a private question-and-answer session on President Obama’s plan to overhaul the nation’s health-care system.
About 100 seniors packed a clubhouse room in the gated Cypress community to ask questions to Price, a Democrat from the state’s 4th Congressional District. Many of them wound up giving North Carolina’s second-longest-serving congressman a piece of their mind instead.
“There is nothing wrong with good, vigorous debate,” Price told the crowd during a 20-minute opening statement. “There is something wrong with shouting each other down and with excluding anybody from the debate.”
