The League of Women Voters, Long Beach Area, will host a panel discussion on health-care reform from 10 a.m. to noon Nov. 21 at Los Altos Library, 5614 E. Britton Drive.

Panelists were selected to provide different points of view on the issue.

"There should be some controversy and areas of disagreement among our panelists and the audience," League President Phyllis O'Connor said in a prepared statement. "But above all, we expect a thoughtful and civilized discussion of issues that are of vital importance."

The speakers include Ray Jankowski, CEO of Long Beach Community Hospital; Nancy Gomez, regional organizer for Health Access-California; Dr. Mark Dressner, a board certified family physician; and Sean Smith, president of Keenan HealthCare.

Panelists will address a series of questions prepared by the League and written questions from the audience.

The event is free and open to the public.
