GALLUP — It seemed that almost all of the people who attended Monday’s town hall meeting hosted by U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M. wanted to talk about one subject — health care reform.

Almost 180 people showed up at the meeting on the campus of the University of New Mexico-Gallup, and although the questions were open to any subject, three-fourths of the 20 people who asked a question posed it on the health care reforms talks now going on in Congress.
