President Obama's health care reform bill has raised questions and concerns among lawmakers and those directly affected by it.

News 3's Anita Roman reports that the NAACP held its own forum Sunday evening to discuss the issues.

Most people who attended say there seemed to be more questions than answers when it came to the president's health care plan. But they hoped for some direction to figure out what a reform could mean for them.

"I think we need a change," says Theresa Pradia. "I'm just confused which way we should go at this point."

Dozens with similar worries gathered at the West Las Vegas Library Theater to listen to a panel of health care experts and former politicians. They were all in search of answers surrounding the future of health care.

"What I heard about it is that it's going to be universal health care," says Ben Padua. "(President Obama) is trying to have the same kind of coverage that I believe Canada has. If that was the case, that would be great."

Several issues were discussed during the forum including public option, private insurance, and Medicare.

"You hear people throwing around $1.3 trillion," says former Nevada Senator Joe Neal. "That is only about four percent of less than four percent of what it would actually cost if you did nothing in ten years, in a decade."

Nedra Armstrong is the chair of the NAACP Health Committee. She says calls come into the office daily, asking the question of what does this plan mean for me.

"It's a thousand-page booklet. You probably have to be an attorney twice over in order to interpret it. That's part of the problem," she explains.

But whether you support the bill or oppose it, the bottom line is that people want information about a plan that could potentially change their lives.

"Our ER rooms should not become primary care facilities, which is what is happening because people don't have medication (or) medical care," explains Marcia Evans, President of the Southern Nevada Black Nurses Association.

According to a national poll conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, 37 percent oppose Obama's plan; 25 percent support it.

Also, the Tea Party Express anti-tax demonstration is expected to stop here in Las Vegas on Monday. News 3 was told that people will protest issues from health care reform to the skyrocketing national debt.

Demonstrators will take part in a three-day march in Washington on September 12.
