Rep. Courtney on health reform repeal debate

Our CT Health Policy Project Board member and longtime advocate for CT’s health care consumers, Rep. Joe Courtney argued persuasively on the floor of the House against the recent bill to repeal national health care reform. Unfortunately, he was not able to persuade enough of his colleagues to join him in voting no. To watch his remarks, go to http://www.youtube.com/repcourtney. For a webinar with Rep. Courtney on what reform means for CT consumers struggling to access health care, go to http://www.cthealthpolicy.org/webinars/default.htm. The repeal bill now goes to the Senate, where it is not expected to pass.
