US Sen. John Kerry is sponsoring a health care dialogue at Boston’s Fanueil Hall on July 31 at 12 noon.

I can't find any information about this at the John Kerry site, but if you go, please post about your experience.

John Kerry's Democratic opponent, Ed O'Reilly has endorsed a single payer system.

My girlfriend and I recently visited Rome. While there, a stray cat attacked her. The injury was bad enough to need a doctor, so we visited a hospital’s emergency unit and waited under an hour for care. The doctor wrote a prescription and gave my girlfriend a shot to ease the pain. We had no idea what to expect in respect to cost: Italy has a universal health-care system, but we were not citizens. In total the doctor visit cost us nothing, and we paid $50 for medicine.

The Massachusetts Democratic Convention gave Ed O'Reilly enough support to put him on the ballot. I don't live in Massachusetts and don't know anything about this, but O'Reilly supports single payer.

Kerry Gets Slapped
