\"EvaToday’s Town Hall Meeting was amazing! I found out just how much I needed to think about my health when I did what I was told by the lady in the booth and the metro, and got off at Federal Triangle. 5+ blocks later as I was in the security checkpoint line wheezing, gasping for breath, and praying that the cramps in my calves would just ease up, all I could think about was my health!<\/p>\n

That’s me with Dr. Regina M. Benjamin, the 18th Surgeon General of the United States.<\/p>\n

The group of bloggers and health care advocates wasn’t huge, but the room was full and everyone was very excited to hear from the panelists.<\/p>\n

(Oh, and B. Smith looks just as fabulous in person as she does in her photos – if you want to look young and wonderful at any age, find out what she is doing and … do that!)<\/p>\n

Here are some of my tweets and the tweets of others during the town hall that I felt were particularly thought provoking. \u00a0Share your thoughts in the comments.<\/p>\n

Undocumented parents often are afraid to bring in their children who ARE citizens, does the act address this issue? #minorityhealth<\/a><\/p>\n
