Town Hall Champions Single-Payer Health Care
Exorbitant drug prices, high deductibles and the need to jump through hoops to get procedures covered. Those were some of the realities of today's health insurance landscape decried Saturday at a sidewalk town hall in downtown Louisville. Dozens of people gathered outside U.S. Sen.
