change:healthcare meets up with Cover America

by Robert on June 26, 2008

The best thing about this job is that we get to meet some really great people. Today we met some outstanding folks who are going to make a difference.

Cover America made a stop right here in Nashville today and a few of the change:healthcare team had a chance to catch up with them. The cross country trek to capture stories of consumers’ difficulties with the healthcare system is part of a Consumer Reports effort on the healthcare front.

We really enjoyed meeting Meg, Blake, Pauline and Liz. Even got our photo with the RV in Centennial Park, in the shadow of Hospital Corporation of America (oh, how we love the irony of that one). Many thanks to these folks for what they are doing – fighting for the healthcare consumer.

Meg is getting a much deserved break after three weeks on the road, and we wish her a happy mini-vacation.

The rest of the crew is headed on to eastern Kentucky before hitting Virginia. We are going to try and hook them up with our favorite West Virginian, Bob Coffield of the Health Care Law Blog when they hit Charleston.
