The crowd was noticeably divided on the issue of health care reform.

Bart Gordon, the Daily News Journal, and MTSU hosted a town hall meeting on Monday to discuss health care reform.

The discussion was mostly split between those entirely opposed to health care reform and those seeking to establish a better system.

Congressman Gordon stressed the importance of reducing the cost of health care and making the system more efficient. He said that a new health care system must reduce the deficit or at least be budget neutral.
