As Congress continues to debate a proposed overhaul of the nation's health care system, the Office of Student Life together with Payroll and Employee Benefits are sponsoring a health care forum on Tuesday, Nov.10, beginning at 7:00 p.m. in Pruis Hall.

Ball State professor of political science Charles Taylor will moderate the exchange that will include U.S. Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind.; Dr. Thomas Whiteman, a local otolaryngologist and representative to the Indiana State Medical Association; Larry Dust, CEO of Key Benefits Administrators, the health care administrative agent for most Ball State employees; Cecil Bohanon, Ball State professor of economics; and Dr. David Orentlicher, former member of the Indiana House of Representatives and currently concurrent professor of law and medicine at Indiana University.

Each panelist is scheduled to speak for 5-10 minutes to explain his perspectives on health care reform, after which members of the audience will be invited to ask questions.

For more information, contact Mitch Isaacs, associate director of student life, at 765-285-3476 or meisaacs@bsu.edu.
