Your support makes all the difference.WASHINGTON (Reuter) - A federal judge ruled yesterday that Hillary Clinton's task force on health care reform must hold open meetings. In a partial setback for the administration, the US District Judge Royce Lamberth barred the task force from holding meetings until it complies with a 1972 law.
'The public has the right to know what information is being presented to the task force and by whom it is being given; to learn of the costs involved in the gathering of the facts; and to attend these meetings,' Judge Lamberth wrote in the 30-page ruling.
