The debate over federal health care reform continues on tonight at 6:30 p.m. when U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor holds a town-hall meeting on the issue by telephone.

Loud and, in some cases, violent protesters drowned out Castor, D-Tampa, when she attempted to speak in-person at a health-care reform forum in Tampa last week. It was one of numerous public meetings across the country that opponents have disrupted with shouting, sign-waving and other shows of protest.

Reform proponents and opponents alike may participate in Castor's meeting tonight by calling (877) 229-8493 or (877) 269-7289 (PIN: 13964).
