The Great Debate 2009: National Health Care Reform
Last Thursday, Cal Dems participated in its annual Great Debate versus the Berkeley College Republicans! The topic was national health reform, and it was a blast for all involved.
The event could not have happened without the hard work of many other individuals and organizations.
First, thanks to the Undergraduate Political Science Association, which put the debate together. They make this happen every year, and we apprericate their work.
Secondly, thanks to Professor Hassner for moderating. Very few professors are willing to sacrifice their evenings, and he acted with all the fairness and impartiality we could have hoped for.
Last, but not least, thanks to the Berkeley College Republicans for debating alongside us. As said on Thursday, we may have a friendly rivalry, but it’s always a pleasure to discuss our views and have a civil debate of ideas.
Over the next few days, we’ll have media coming in from the event. We’ll get some pictures on Flickr,* a video on YouTube, and some policy posts on our blog. Stay tuned!
