COMMENTS: Meet Doctor Regina
As Judge Sonia Sotomayor was listening to senators, Dr Regina Benjamin was being nominated as the next Surgeon General. NBC's Anne Thompson filed a profile of the rural Alabama family doctor whose clinic serves a shrimp fishing village of 2,500, 40% of whose residents have no health insurance. Thompson checked off Benjamin's nomination by Time in 1994 as one of its Fifty Future Leaders Under 40 and her 2008 award by the MacArthur Foundation with a so-called genius grant. Jake Tapper dug into the archives at ABC and replayed her nomination as his networks Person of the Week back in 1995.
