The forum marks the fifth in a series of regional forums on health reform. On March 5, President Barack Obama hosted a White House forum on health reform at the White House. Working with governors across the country, the White House put together five regional forums on health reform. The forums have brought together Americans across the region, key health care stakeholders and elected officials to discuss what must be done to change our health care system. The first four forums were held in Michigan, Vermont, Iowa, and North Carolina.
