The political strategist widely credited with revitalizing the Democratic Party talks about his book, *Howard Dean's Prescription for Real Healthcare Reform*. His perspective as a doctor, former Vermont governor, and former chairman of the Democratic National Committee add to this guide's credibility for overcoming today's health care crisis. This event is hosted by Manuel's Tavern.
Howard Dean served as governor of Vermont from 1991 until 2003, and was a Democratic candidate for president in 2004.
