Even though the town-hall meetings on health care reform across the country have continued to be contentious, Members are keeping with their vows to hear constituents’ voices on health care, with dozens of meetings continuing through Thursday and in the coming weeks.

At a meeting held by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) Thursday in Huntsville, many voters showed up to support the Senator’s opposition to the plan of President Barack Obama, while a smaller group supported the president.

According to the Huntsville Times, Eddgra Fallin expressed a belief in big government. “The police department, the fire department, EPA,— she said, “I love government … Repeat after me. Government is good.’—

The Times reported that Fallin even said she would gladly pay more taxes to get poor people better health coverage. Another citizen, Dennis Borden, disagreed, responding that Fallin could pay his taxes as well.

Several Members are spending Thursday cramming in as many as two or three town-hall meetings, including:

• Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) is meeting with constituents at Northeastern State University in Muskogee, Carl Albert State College in Sallisaw, and First Baptist Church in Webbers Falls.
