Published: December 16, 2009 - 1:38pm

Congressman Joe Courtney has been an advocate for universal health care coverage – so what does he think of the Senate’s bizarre process of getting toward a health reform plan? Today, Where We Live, the 2nd district congressman joins us to talk about the differences in the House and Senate bills.

He’s also been a go-to interview about financial bailouts since he broke with his party to oppose giving money to the “too big to fail banks.” He voted for the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act: we’ll find out what that will do to reign in Wall Street excess.

And, Courtney is behind new aid to dairy farmers – some $290 million – which could come by Christmas.  Join the conversation! What questions do you have for Congressman Courtney?
