State Representative and gubernatorial candidate Ed Fallon (D-Des Moines) will visit 8 cities in central and eastern Iowa on Thursday and Friday to introduce his plan for universal health care.

The tour was initially scheduled for last week but had to be postponed due to poor weather conditions. "Other politicians seem content to apply a few bandaids to our ailing health care system," Fallon said. "What I'm offering is a transfusion, an overhaul of a system that fails more and more Iowans every year."
