U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth is planning to talk health care with members of his Louisville congressional district.
The Democrat from Kentucky's largest city held a conference call Monday night to discuss the proposed national health care reform.
Yarmuth spokesman Trey Pollard says about 5,000 people participated in the approximately 70-minute call. Pollard says two more calls are scheduled and the congressman is also scheduled to have a town hall meeting on health care next month.
During Monday night's call, Yarmuth said claims the proposal in the House would create "death panels," was "ridiculous," The Courier-Journal reported.
Pollard says the congressman fielded questions and addressed "some of the misinformation that's been out there."
