Moderating National Issues Forums Institute (NIFI) forums is a great way to delve more deeply into what is concerning people.  Some forums, however, seem to tap into concerns that are much more universal than others.  A November, 2016, forum focused on "Health Care: How Can We Reduce Costs and Still Get the Care We Need?" is an example of one such issue.

The following article is from Gregg Kaufman, and describes a forum that was held on October 18, 2016, where University of North Florida students deliberated about the issue of what should be done about immigration.
