If you’re looking for affordable health insurance for your kids, look no further. The National Association of Social Workers may have just the solutions you’re looking for.

On a humid evening, in a non-air-conditioned church sanctuary, beneath mobiles of origami birds on which prayers are written, Representative Joe Sestak (D-PA) held a town meeting, answering questions on health care reform with few interruptions. More than 500 people gathered in the sanctuary and overflow room of the Broad Street Ministry, in the heart of Philadelphia’s cultural district, to pose questions and listen to the congressman. Participants formed a long line in front of the church and around the corner and waited without incident before the event began, many of them carrying red, white and blue signs that said, “Health Care Reform Now.”

In preparation for the town meeting, Move-on and various local groups that support health care reform contacted their network of members and encouraged them to turn-out for the event and outnumber tea-baggers and others who might try to prevent citizens from asking questions. The result was so successful it could serve as a model for town meetings across the country.

Sestak, who is challenging Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA) in Pennsylvania’s Democratic Primary, has been holding health care “summits” across the state for more than a year and demonstrated both his understanding of the public’s concerns and his mastery of the details in the House health care proposal. He responded to numerous questions from supporters and opponents of health care reform calmly and with command of the facts. Those who even attempted to disrupt the town meeting were met with Sestak’s unflappable patience and knowledge, and the audience’s disapproval.

No matter what expense I took on, it always seemed like there was enough monthly income to support it. When I spent money in a business capacity I never really cared what my return on investment was, and I had no awareness on my profitability.
