“Thank you, Mr. President. This past Friday, I was honored to welcome and host First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton at a health care forum for Nevada's health care professionals and providers in Las Vegas. The purpose of the forum was to educate providers about the President's bill and to address the specific concerns about health care reform. The First Lady in Las Vegas last Friday outlined the President's Health Security Act and the health care benefits that will be afforded all Americans under this plan. Most importantly, Mr. President, Mrs. Clinton devoted more than an hour to answering specific questions from the provider audience. The audience was made up of physicians, hospital administrators, State officials, rural health providers, nurses, representatives from our medical school, and Nevada's nursing schools. It was not necessary to include the general public in this forum or in these discussions because the citizens of Nevada know that there is a health care crisis in existence today. They live with it every day. It is an issue that affects the financial, emotional, and physical stability of Nevadans and every American.”
