This afternoon, I spoke with Representative Joe Courtney (CT-02) about the America’s Affordable Health Choices Act — the most promising health care reform legislation in years. We discussed politics, misinformation, hypocrisy, economic recovery, the importance of grass-roots support, and the urgent need for reform. Representative Courtney makes his compelling case for the America’s Affordable Health Choices Act in the way that only a former small business owner and policy maker who refuses taxpayer-subsidized health insurance can. As Representative Courtney concluded, when it comes to health care reform, “failure is not an option.”
