The Center for Rural Affairs is co-hosting five forums across Iowa in April to discuss how health care reform will impact Iowa's small businesses, family farmers and rural communities.

You can find full meeting details below.

Our current health care system is not working for rural America. Too often farmers and rural small business owners are forced to purchase coverage in the individual market where they pay more and receive less. Without adequate health care, rural communities suffer. On the other hand, health care reform that works for all of America will spur entrepreneurial rural development and stimulate our rural economy.

The Center for Rural Affairs is working with Iowa Farmers Union, Iowa Citizen Action Network and members of Health Care for America Now Iowa to host five forums across Iowa to talk about these issues and what you can do to make a difference. Here are the event details:
