Congressman Dan Lipinski has made it clear that if the Senate won't further strengthen the already-restrictive abortion language in their health care reform package, he intends to oppose the measure when it's sent over to the House. Health care advocates from the Campaign for Better Health Care want to make sure he knows how betrayed many of his constituents feel. At 4 p.m. today, they will visit Lipinski's LaGrange office to demand that he "walk in the shoes" of the uninsured (and will even deliver a pair of shoes for effect).
According to recent data (PDF), over 16 percent of Lipinski's constituents lack health care coverage. Click here for more information about today's action.
