20090204-173558-pic-20589356_t220On Tuesday, September 29th, Representative Doug Ericksen will host a healthcare town hall in Bellevue.

“As the national health care debate continues, we want to provide solutions that would address our state’s problems. Our plan focuses on fixing what is broken, and leaving what works in place,” Ericksen said. “We want to provide solutions to the people of Washington.”

Ericksen is the ranking Republican member of the House Health Care & Wellness Committee, chaired by Democratic Representative Eileen Cody.

Ericksen has hosted three other town halls so far this summer. By the end of each town hall he hopes the people will hear his plan and want to buy it.
