STRONGSVILLE, Ohio -- President Barack Obama's third event on health care in a week will bring him to the Cleveland suburb of Strongsville on Monday.
It's not far from Medina, the hometown of an uninsured cancer patient named Natoma Canfield, whom the president has made a symbol of the need for reform. The self-employed cleaning worker wrote Obama recently about her health insurance premium, which rose to nearly $8,500 a year and led her to drop her coverage.
Obama pitched his health care plan this week in both Pennsylvania and Missouri.
The Strongsville event is scheduled for 1 p.m. Monday at the Walter F. Ehrnfelt Recreation and Senior Center. It's free and open to the public, but tickets are needed. They'll be available at the center Sunday at 2 p.m.
