The notion of universal health coverage has been around for awhile, and in the legislature, it keeps coming up... and usually dying. It's back in the state legislature, and maybe, now, its time has come. You're invited to join us for a look at this latest proposal for a Massachusetts-style insurance mandate, and we'll analyze its chances of political success in the Buckeye State. For a bit of comparison, too, we'll look at single-payer, government-sponsored health insurance proposals. Join us with your questions and your ideas for fixing health care in Ohio. Monday morning at nine.

Armond Budish, State Representative, 8th District
