The Lieutenant Governor was the guest of Dan Rudloff, who is running for Warren County Magistrate in District Two.

It gave us the chance to ask Mongiardo why as a doctor and a Democrat, he opposes the health care reform bill.

"I would be for this bill," said Mongiardo, "if I had assurances that this is not the end of the process. Because this really doesn't do anything to lower the cost or improve the health care outcomes of our patients. This is not in itself the end all be all. So I would support it, if this were the first step to a much broader health care reform."

Mongiardo's chief opponent in the Democratic Primary is Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway.
