About 725 people went to the Millard town hall meeting.  They could ask Congressman Terry about anything from the economy to taxes, but the topic on everyone's mind was health care reform.

Hundreds packed the school's auditorium, with dozens listening in an overflow room.  Congressman Terry began the night with a 30-minute explanation of the House reform bill, which he says was drafted by far-left Democrats.

Terry criticized the plan's cost, saying it would result in people losing employee provided coverage.  He also talked about the fear that patients would be denied certain procedures, because the government decided the possible improvement wasn't worth the cost.

The Republican was greeted by a crowd overwhelmingly sympathetic to his arguments.  But that didn't keep dozens of passionate people from pressing him on the plan, his views and government involvement in health care.

Congressman Terry told the crowd no conservative would support the House bill in its current form.  That drew wild applause from the audience.  Terry says he expects to see the legislation come back through committee, when Congress reconvenes next month.

Meanwhile citizens in favor of health reform rallied around the state capital in Lincoln Tuesday night.

State Senators Jeremy Nordquist and Amanda McGill gave pro-reform speeches. Also in attendance was Nick Rathoid, a member of the Obama Administration. He says the President's plan to reform health insurance will help all Nebraskans.

After the rally, the event turned confrontational as about a dozen people who oppose Obama's health care plan made their voices heard.

The pro-reform rally was an attempt to get Nebraska's Congressmen to vote 'yes' for health care reform.

Earlier Tuesday local and national experts also gathered for a health care summit at the Platte Institute.

The event was held to inform the public about the positives and negatives of reform and included panels on patient care and the skyrocketing costs it would bring.

Organizers say one of the most important changes should be a return to consumer based health care.

And on the Iowa side, over 200 turned out to hear Congressman Steve King's stance on the issue. King met at the Council Bluffs library Tuesday morning and heard comments from the audience for about an hour.
