The much-debated issue of health insurance reform will be the main focus of a town hall meeting Sunday at the shelter house in Anson Park in Marshalltown.
The group Organizing for America, a grassroots project of the Democratic National Committee, will host the meeting at 3 p.m.
The meeting will include a presentation about healthcare reform from Rep. Mark Smith, D-Marshalltown.
"I'll talk about the healthcare coverage commission that we started to look at the issues and the principles of healthcare reform," Smith said.
Smith said the event is meant to not only describe some of the work public officials are doing but also get feedback from area residents.
He said the goal of the event is "to get people's thoughts and concerns" about healthcare.
