Sen. Dodd and Tom Swan on the Passage of Health Care Reform

in

Following the historic passage of national health care reform, Senator Chris Dodd came back to the state last week to thank supporters and to highlight the many good benefits included in the bill. Sen. Dodd was joined by Congressman John Larson and CCAG Executive Director Tom Swan. Christine Stuart from CT News Junkie reported on the event:

Tom Swan, executive director of the Connecticut Citizen Action Group, said it’s with mixed emotions that he says the past 15 to 18 months have been the most productive for Dodd, who after 36 years is not running for re-election. He challenged the audience at Capitol Community College to find a senator who has done more in their six years than Dodd has done in less than two.

Swan said he looked forward to working with Dodd in the future on a “public option,” which was not included in the final bill.
