Washington, DC - Throughout August, Rep. Bruce Braley (D-Iowa) will host health care reform town hall meetings throughout the First Congressional District to seek constituents' input on healthcare reform legislation pending in Congress. Braley will discuss the House health care reform bill, listen to constituents' concerns, and take questions.

Braley is a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, a key committee of jurisdiction in the healthcare reform debate. In July, Braley held four healthcare reform town hall meetings?in Davenport, Dubuque, Oelwein, and Waterloo.
