BOULDER, Colo.—More than 100 people swarmed to a coffee shop in Boulder to talk to Rep. Jared Polis about health care reform.
The Democrat from Boulder says his meetings in the 2nd Congressional District usually draw 30 to 40 people over two hours. But at least three times that many turned out for his session Friday.
People carrying signs for and against a health care reform plan moving through Congress crowded around Polis. He fielded questions while small clots of people argued with each other.
Polis and other members of Colorado’s congressional delegation are holding meetings on health care reform during the summer recess. Polis and Rep. Diana DeGette joined House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Thursday at a Denver clinic to discuss the push to extend health insurance to some 47 million Americans without any.
