A candid, up-to-the-minute conversation on where the debate stands, what is missing, and how we continue to advocate from here to ensure that the overhaul of our broken healthcare system provides affordable access for all Americans. With Crystal Haling of the Blue Shield Foundation, Roger Hickey of Campaign for America's Future, and Anthony Wright of Health Access California, and moderated by Tom David of the Community Clinics Initiative.

Americans United is now working on Medicare prescription drugs and other issues. Hickey also helped found the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), a Washington think tank that looks at economics from the point of view of working Americans. Hickey served as EPI’s vice president and director of communications.
