This was a speaker who discussed the terrible state of health care in the US -- "You don't know if you have good health insurance until you have to use it", that a lot of people who gained insurance through the ACA did so with a high-deductible plan. (Is there any other type on the exchange? I sure haven't seen one.) And she mentioned that there are three healthcare lobbyists for every member of Congress.
They distributed goody bags that included a DVD and flyers in favor of single-payer.
I was disappointed. I'm sure most of the people in the room already knew about the sorry state of health care in this country, agreed with the national position in favor of single-payer health care, and were there hoping to find out what we can do to improve things. But that wasn't what the caucus was about. I didn't learn anything useful that we can apply to advocacy.
