Thursday, March 25th, Field House

Less than 24 hours after the House gave final approval to a health care reform bill, the White House announced President Barack Obama will visit Iowa City on Thursday to discuss health insurance reform’s effect on small business and American families.

The Democrat-heavy Iowa City area served as a frequent campaign stop from late 2006 to early 2008 during Obama’s march to the presidency. Thursday will mark his first visit as president.

“I am just excited as can be. I want him to give me my marching orders and tell me what to do next,” said Sue Dvorsky, Obama’s former Johnson County campaign co-chairwoman.

Obama is scheduled to speak at 1 p.m. at the Field House on University of Iowa campus. People must register for the opportunity to attend by 4 p.m. Tuesday at www.whitehouse.gov/webform/rsvp/university-iowa-100325.
