USU alum comes to the university to talk about the future of Obamacare, gives students hope

USU alum Andrew Croshaw visited Utah State Wednesday to talk about the affordable care act for the Pizza and Politics lecture series.  Croshaw spent time working at U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as project leader of a healthcare act that aimed to make healthcare affordable.

“It was great to hear someone give hope like that,” said Jashon Bishop, a USU student who helps put on the Pizza and Politics lectures. “He talked about how it was a flawed system, but then started talking about how nothing starts perfect, and that it can be fixed.”

Bishop also said it was important that it didn’t matter which party someone belonged to, what was important was working together to make Obamacare better.

Gordon Reid, who is studying political science declared Crowshaw’s lecture one of the best lectures he’s heard on campus.

“I never thought Obamacare could ever work out,” Reid said. “As I walked out, I thought ‘man, maybe something like this could actually work out.’”

Crowshaw’s speech was delivered to a packed room.
