On the 2nd anniversary of YAL's first activism event, Real Change Requires R3volution, the YAL chapter at the University of Washington continues to remain in the forefront of campus political activities. After a successful Autumn Quarter, the UW College Republicans asked YAL members Steve Heidenreich and Justin Clements (the YAL-UW chapter president) to debate on their behalf, this time on the repeal of the Health Care Bill. Following last night's debate, Justin's face was on the cover of UW's newspaper, The Daily:

College Republican Justin Clements argued that the Affordable Care Act leads to too much government control and that the bill represents “one of the more terrifying aspects of government expansion.” 

...[Steve] Heidenreich offered some right-wing solutions to the health-care issue, including allowing insurance to be sold across state lines. He said that there are hundreds of health-insurance companies in the United States, but they can’t compete against each other nationwide.

“You can’t lower prices without competition,” Heidenreich said.
