Senator Schumer, Meet Dr.Whittaker

As the push to reform the inequities of the American health care system spilled over into 2010, CIR continued to make sure that the national debate was as much about doctors and patients as it was politicians and process.

Throughout January and February, resident physicians in nearly every region marched in rallies, spoke at press conferences, and met with their elected representatives. Dr. Vaughn Whittaker (far right), CIR Regional Vice President for New York, was part of a delegation that met with Senator Charles Schumer (center) on January 22, 2010.
