So far so good. The town hall meeting on health care in Delray Beach is just getting underway and people on both sides of the debate seem to be getting along just fine. In this picture, a woman who favors a health care overhaul is having a spirited but civil discussion with a veteran, who is concerned that reforms will hurt his benefits.
