Partick Murfin’s blog, “Heretic, Rebel, a Thing to Flout,” promotes a hearing to be held in McHenry at McHenry County College’s Shah Center (the old motel MCC bought and turned into a conference center) on Saturday, June 28th.

The Shah Center is within sight of Centegra’s McHenry hospital, so if medical providers don’t show up, it won’t be because of the inconvenience of the hearing location.

My former colleague State Rep. Mary Flowers (D-Chicago) will hold a hearing on her House Bill 311. It’s a single payer approach to providing health care in Illinois.

State Rep. Mike Tryon is an outspoken opponent to the plan, Murfin says.

He doesn’t say where Democratic Party State Rep. Jack Franks stands on the issue.
