Pelosi: Protests Won’t Derail Healthcare Reform
-----------------------------------------------



Also Thursday, Pelosi said a series of protests at Democrat-sponsored
healthcare forums won’t derail congressional efforts to reform
healthcare. Protesters have turned up at public meetings held by
Democratic lawmakers across the nation to protest proposals for a
government-run health option. Democrats say some of the protests have
been orchestrated by operatives for right-wing groups. On Thursday, a
forum with Democratic Congress member Kathy Castor in Tampa was
described as turning into a near riot.
