Return To Washington

Press Release

Congress returned from the August recess on Tuesday with health insurance reform clearly the largest item on the agenda. President Barack Obama prepared to speak before a joint session of Congress on Wednesday regarding efforts in Washington to address the crisis of health care in America today. Sen. Bernie Sanders was met at the Burlington airport by a group of activists calling on him to continue to fight for a strong health care bill. One attendee told New England Cable Network that Sanders has been "a champion on this issue for a long time." Sanders said, "I received hundreds of emails from Vermonters telling me their experiences with healthcare today. It makes you cry; it does. It's extraordinarily disturbing to see people say their brother died because he went to the doctor too late."
