Dozens of students and Norman residents attended a public discussion, Healthcare: Universal Right or Economic Disaster?, Thursday night. The discussion, which was hosted by the OU Economics Club, prompted debate about the health care reform bills being considered by Congress.
Health care has been a topic of much national discussion this year, especially with a Democratic majority in Congress that favors reform soon.
Most people are not well informed about health care reform, which is complex and confusing, Brenna Wallach, OU Economics Club president, said in an interview. People should know all sides of the debate about the issue, Wallach said.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a health care reform bill Saturday night by a vote of 220-215. The Senate must still vote on a reform package.
