Maryland’s Democrat-dominated Congressional delegation praised President Obama‘s State of the Union address for taking on controversial issues, including gays in the military, and not giving up on health care.

More than 130 small business owners from around the nation, including three Marylanders, met with lawmakers and federal officials Tuesday (Nov. 3) to address the impact of increasing health insurance costs on their businesses and lives.

Maryland lawmakers underscored the urgency of equitable health care reform on Capitol Hill Oct. 6, drawing attention to a new report by the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University that highlights the economic burden of discriminatory health care practices.

Maryland’s Democratic-dominated congressional delegation sang the praises of President Obama‘s health care speech Wednesday night, calling it “bold” and “powerful.”
