The sad truth about the current debate over healthcare is that it has little to do with real reform while there is little informed debate going on, says NU Associate Editor Mark Ruquet, after attending a local town hall meeting this week.

I'll leave it to Mark to recount his experience and conclusions in his own words:

On Monday evening I attempted to attend a town hall meeting of Democratic Congressman Frank Pallone Jr. in Piscataway, N.J. He also happens to head the Energy and Commerce Committee's Health Subcommittee. The meeting was to start at 7 p.m. I arrived at 6:30 p.m. I didn't get in.
