Congressman Meek Meets with CIR in Miami
Can you spot the person in this picture who is not a doctor? Congressman Kendrick Meek (holding the plaque) toured Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, FL on February 5, 2010. After a tour of the hospital led by resident physicians, Rep. Meek, who this year participated in the drafting of the comprehensive health reform bill as a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, sat down for a discussion of topics ranging from compensation for safety net hospitals to improving mental health care to the final fate of health care reform. “Count on me as it relates to being a part of the solution for as long as I’m in public service,” Rep. Meek pledged.
