Arizona: Howard Dean

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

Former Democratic Party Chairman Dr. Howard Dean has a new book scheduled for release on July 22, 2009 entitled Howard Dean's Prescription for Real Health Care Reform. Here is a synopsis:

Synopsis

Americans have pondered how to reform healthcare since the days of Harry Truman. But for most Americans, little has changed—except that healthcare costs have soared, health insurance companies have grown bigger and more oppressive to both doctors and patients, and today even those Americans who pay dearly for health insurance frequently find that their policies don't adequately cover them when they need their coverage most.

Something has got to give.

DENVER -- Sarah Rosen, the former communications director of the Arizona Democratic Party who was killed in a car accident in 2005, was honored at the breakfast of Arizona's Democratic National Convention delegation Tuesday morning.

Her father, Sam Rosen, once came close to breaking down as he spoke about his daughter to the delegates, and made a pitch for the fund that was started in her name.

U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Phoenix) is opening the Southwest Regional Headquarters for his presidential bid in Phoenix on Friday, according to Politico Mafioso. U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Phoenix), who chairs McCain's Arizona campaign, will be appearing to commence the celebration. A celebration of that sort is a long way off for U.S. Sen.

Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean's message today was loud and clear: the Democrats will challenge Sen. John McCain in his home state of Arizona.

Dean was in Phoenix to discuss strategy with a group of volunteers who will be campaigning on behalf of whoever wins the party's nomination fight, and assure them that the Democratic Party is not rolling over in the Grand Canyon State.
