In case you missed it, yesterday Governor Granholm moderated the first White House regional forum on health reform in Dearborn with Gov. Doyle of Wisconsin and Melody Barnes, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council.  As President Obama said in his video message yesterday, "the crushing cost of healthcare is battering our businesses and squeezing our states."  As a result of the uneven international healthcare playing field, cars and other goods can be produced at less cost in Canada than the United States making our companies less competitive while our citizens still don't have access to the care they need or deserve.  President Obama is committed to reforming health care this year, and has opened up the process to the public, in town meetings and over the Internet, at healthreform.gov.

At yesterday's forum, the Governor helped solicit questions and input on health reform from the audience, and the White House is collecting the feedback and will present it to the President.
