What

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will join Washington Governor Christine Gregoire and White House Domestic Policy Council Director Melody Barnes in hosting the fifth and final White House Forum on Health Reform. The need to provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans and how to curb skyrocketing health care costs will be the major topics of discussion among the 175 invited guests who represent the diversity of California.

Columbia University Vice-Chair and Professor of Surgery Dr. Mehmet Oz - who also appears regularly on "Oprah" - will share moderating duties with both governors.

In addition to the Los Angeles forum, satellite health reform forums will take place simultaneously in San Diego, Oakland and Clovis and will be linked to the Los Angeles Forum via satellite.
