Thursday night attended Book Passage at the Ferry Building to hear Howard Dean discuss health insurance and talk about his book "Howard Dean's Prescription for Real Healthcare Reform: How We Can Achieve Affordable Medical Care For Every American and Make Our Jobs safer". Just out in paperback.
Huge crowd heard Howard Dean talk about health insurance. He is definitely qualified to talk about health insurance and he knows the issues. He took questions from the audience (not always easy questions).
"I love Barack Obama's health plan ". His health plan will lead to reform and American's will be able to choose for themselves . We need to push Senators to support Barack Obama's Health Plan with a "public option". (i.e. Senator Dianne Feinstein).
