Students Learn More at Obama's Health Care Rally







President Barack Obama visited our campus today for a health-care rally, attracting enough people to almost fill the Comcast Center. While the nation remains divided upon the issue of health care, one thing we can all be proud of is the desire among our student body to learn more about the issue.

Lucky for us, the University of Maryland has a resource of health-care experts on our campus. If you have questions about the health-care reform, start by talking to College Park's own:
