Between studying and going to class last week, second-year University of Wisconsin-Madison medical student Siavash Sarlati flew to the White House to brainstorm ideas for health care reform with President Barack Obama and other leaders.
Sarlati, a 24-year-old from Milwaukee, was one of seven citizens invited to join lawmakers, business leaders and others gathered in Washington, D.C., for a forum billed as a â??first stepâ? to health care reform.
