Kansas City, MO – Last night, President Barack Obama stood before a joint session of congress to map out his plans for overhauling the nation's health care system. Meanwhile, KCUR's Elana Gordon caught up with some Medical students - who will most definitely be impacted by whatever happens in Washington - to find out their views on the President's speech and how they see the debate over health care affecting their lives and futures as medical professionals.

Funding for health care coverage on KCUR has been provided by the Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City.
