Posted by BEN BEAUMONT – U.S. Rep.Vic Snyder spoke at length and took questions about health care reform from a crowd of more than 1,100 people at today’s Clinton School lecture.
Snyder said he didn’t believe the so-called “public option” was necessary to acheive reform but that he could vote for a bill that included some sort of public plan. Questioners covered topics ranging from costs and taxes to insurance mandates and coverage related to pre-existing conditions.
Prior to joining Congress, Snyder worked as a family practice physician in Central Arkansas for more than 15 years. A former member of the U.S. Marine Corps, he has represented Arkansas’s 2nd Congressional district since 1997.
Video of the 90-minute session will be posted soon at www.clintonschoolspeakers.com.
