For those of you who haven't heard, a group of Brown Med students went down to the State House yesterday (Jan 23) to protest the Governor's plan to cut 2,000 children off of RIteCare--the state's health insurance for low income families.

Here's the link to the article that was written up in the ProJo:

Kudos to Dan Schwarz for getting quoted near the end of the article, despite the glaring error on the part of the reporter...

We are going back to lobby next Wednesday (Jan 30) if any one is interested in participating. Email margret_chang@brown.edu or juan_vasquez@brown.edu for more information.

Thanks,

Andy Brunner, Juan Vasquez, Margret Chang
