Actually, working at a hospital now, I see that Medicaid payments to providers are about to drop to about 1/3 of what they are now. Before long, they will have their health care crisis: no one will accept Medicaid patients as they cost too much.

Who will want to be a doctor?

Responding to requests from voters, Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey said Wednesday she will hold a town hall meeting on the proposed health care overhaul.

The meeting will be 6 p.m. Monday at the Petaluma Veterans Memorial Hall.

Following brief introductory remarks, Woolsey, a former Petaluma City Councilwoman, will spend two hours answering questions and listening to the opinions of voters.

The five-term Democrat said she had been talking about health care at numerous public events across her 6th district, in a telephone town hall meeting, and in “many of the 5,000 e-mail, letter and phone inquiries our office answers every week.”

“A town hall, which has been requested by some constituents, is another way to continue the dialogue on this important issue,” she said in a written statement early Wednesday.

The district includes all of Marin County and most of Sonoma County.
