WELLESLEY, Mass. — Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank's latest town hall meeting on health care reform was much calmer than one last month, when a protester held a poster portraying the president as Hitler.
A friendly audience met Saturday with the Democratic congressman at Mass Bay Community College in the Boston suburb Wellesley.
Before the meeting 84-year-old Peggy Ives held a sign that read, "Grandfolk for Health Care Reform." She says it's time for the government to fix the system.
Physician Peter Cohen told Frank he supports a government-run option to expand health insurance to more people. But he says he worries compromise would weaken it.
Last month, Frank hosted a contentious meeting in Dartmouth, where he lashed out at a poster depicting President Barack Obama with a Hitler-style mustache.
