A lively crowd packed an Englewood Cliffs town hall meeting Wednesday to discuss President Barack Obama's proposed health care reform plan.
The town hall, which was organized by Rep. Steve Rothman (D-Fair Lawn), was attended by about 350 people who were at times emotional and angry. Much like in the rest of the country, opinions on a public health care option in New Jersey are mixed, eliciting strong reactions.
Rothman says he plans on doing 10 town hall meetings in his district that'll focus on the proposed health care overhaul. A second town hall took place Wednesday evening.
