This morning, the DLC hosted a policy forum titled “Launching a New Era of DLC ideas.” NextGenWeb was onsite to provide live-streaming and video coverage of the conference. We also conducted some one-on-one interviews with key panelists.
The forum was opened by White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and featured a keynote address from U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. In addition to the Secretary’s address, the forum included two panel discussions on education and health care reform.
Congressman Artur Davis (D-Ala.) was featured on the education reform panel that included Democrats for Education Reform Executive Director Joe Williams, DLC Senior Fellow and Education Sector co-founder and publisher Andy Rotherham, and Loranne Ausley, from the Florida House of Representatives, District 9.
The forum also featured a health care reform panel featuring Congressman Mike Ross (D-Ark.), Chair of the Blue Dog Health Care Task Force, Chairman and CEO of eHealth Gary Lauer, and Dr. Jonathan Gruber, an MIT economist who helped design the Massachusetts health reform plan.
You can see our interviews below with Bruce Reed, Loranne Ausley, and Gary Lauer.
