9th District Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky held a town hall meeting on health care reform this week, where she was met by both supporters and opponents of the legislation. Among the opponents of reform were several in the crowd that booed the late Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy.

For supporters of reform in Chicago, progressive public policy advocacy group MoveOn.org is holding a vigil in support of health care reform this evening in Grant Park. The "We Can't Afford to Wait Vigil" kicks off at 7 p.m. at the corner of Columbus Drive and East Balbo.
