Located a stones-throw from Missouri, Lamoni was the site of the second town hall conversation. A small crowd, including representatives from the local nursing and rehabilitation facility, faculty from the local college, the director of the community center, a retired factory worker, a small business owner, amongst others.

This quiet, college town had the feel of a very tight-knit community and that was reflected in their conversation. There were regular comments about the importance of taking care of others in need in Lamoni and the need for citizens in other communities to do the same. In addition to the importance of community and family, attendees also emphasized the value of personal responsibility with regard to staying healthy, paying taxes to take care of those less fortunate and having savings in addition to Social Security.

The group was prompted by one attendee to compare the health system in the United States to that of other countries. The idea of a universal health system (like in other nations) was brought up, but there was not full agreement on this system. Many expressed their distrust in the government running an efficient system. All in attendance did believe that there were too many deficiencies in the health care system that needs to be fixed.
