Seg\u00fan mi cuenta, m\u00e1s de 130 personas se tomaron el tiempo para escuchar y hablar con su senador en el evento. Fue una participaci\u00f3n impresionante de los residentes del condado de Umatilla.<\/p>\n<p>El cuidado de la salud domin\u00f3 la conversaci\u00f3n. Eso es importante porque la Senadora Merkley es miembro del comit\u00e9 de salud, educaci\u00f3n, trabajo y pensiones (HELP), uno de los dos paneles cr\u00edticos que determinar\u00e1n la pol\u00edtica que eventualmente surja del Senado.<\/p>\n<p>En un momento, el Senador Merkley pidi\u00f3 que se levantaran las manos sobre tres opciones diferentes para el cuidado de la salud. Un peque\u00f1o n\u00famero de los asistentes, aproximadamente media docena m\u00e1s o menos, apoy\u00f3 un sistema de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica p\u00fablica. Un n\u00famero un poco mayor, alrededor de una docena, respald\u00f3 el actual sistema privado de aseguradoras. Con mucho, la respuesta m\u00e1s grande apoy\u00f3 dar a los ciudadanos una opci\u00f3n sobre qu\u00e9 sistema quieren usar.<\/p>\n<p>Hoy, el Senador Merkley se uni\u00f3 a la mayor\u00eda de sus colegas en el comit\u00e9 HELP para aprobar hoy la legislaci\u00f3n de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica. El proyecto de ley incluye dos disposiciones redactadas por el Senador Merkley: una para aumentar las opciones y reducir los costos de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica para las peque\u00f1as empresas y la otra para ayudar a las madres lactantes.<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/eastoregonian.com\/main.asp?SectionID=14&amp;SubSectionID=50&amp;ArticleID=95312\"><strong>Leer m\u00e1s -&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this month U.S. Sen.
