Town hall crowd airs concerns for Ron Johnson
GREEN BAY - As a cancer survivor, Robert Purvis of Coleman has strong feeling about health care system that he wants to share with U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson.
"There is profit being taken at every step of our health care delivery system," Purvis said at a town hall in Green Bay Thursday. He called on the senator to support a single-payer-style system, saying, "We are making people rich with the dollars that we are forced to spend for our health care."
