A hastily scheduled health-reform panel in Rochester drew members from both main political parties.

U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar requested the panel discussion, seeking health-reform suggestions from Mayo Clinic staff.

During opening remarks, she called the Mayo Clinic Health Policy Center, which has been advocating insurance coverage for all U.S. residents, "a major intellectual force" for health reform.
