Congress is in recess right now, but that doesn't mean our representatives are on vacation. In fact, many are working hard to get input from their constituents on a number of issues. The primarily topic at many of their public sessions is healthcare reform.

Rep. Lincoln Davis, a Democrat representing the Fourth Congressional District, is Gene Patterson guest for most of this week's program.

In the Final Word segment, Gene is joined by 6 News political analyst George Korda and Cortney Piper, who is with the public relations firm SRW Associates.

#1 health care

Submitted by Joe Antonetti (not verified) on January 5, 2010 - 8:13pm.

I have tried to find the meetings on health on c-span as I was told they woud be on tv. What channel do I need to look at?

Since it was to be bi-partisan can you supply me a list of people( and there party )who are involed in the joining these two bills?

Why were you not able to get a deal for TN like Nelson received for his state?

And why should the people of TN get to pay for these peoples ins. ?

Are you looking out for the people of TM and how?

#2 Healthcare

Submitted by Harry Spencer (not verified) on March 9, 2010 - 9:38am.

With so much at stake, it seems so wrong for the rush to pass the proposed Healthcare without full discussion on both sides and the public being able to see the complete agreement. It really worries me to see the President pushing a program that clearly has many concerned.

When I could only ask " Is this the best you can do?" I know many in the Democratic party will vote along party lines, I can only hope that a few will vote for what is right. This plan needs more work and more public information, before we commit to such a program. Are all members of Congress going under this plan in its current proposal?

#3 Obama Health Care

Submitted by Marsha (not verified) on March 15, 2010 - 9:22am.

With the future of our country at stake, I am urging you to vote NO to the present Health Care Program that is not what the public wants or needs. Our Country is bankrupt and headed down the wrong path.
Our Health Care needs some tweeking, but it doesn't need this major overhaul that we can not afford and puts the Government in charge of our future rights concerning our own choices.
I urge you to do the right thing for the people of Tennessee.
