Abstract

On March 30, 2008 over 300 students, residents and fellows met with nearly 150 Congressional House and Senate offices to discuss important issues in healthcare, including improving medical student loan deferment, impending Medicare physician payment cuts, and reform for expanding health insurance coverage. This piece provides a brief on those topics and their current standing Congress, and reviews one student’s experience of the annual AMA Lobby Day.
