We get response from fellow Chicagoan, Congressmember Luis Gutiérrez, on key achievements highlighted by President Obama during his farewell presidential address, which took place at Chicago’s McCormick Place convention center Tuesday night. "Healthcare is important. It’s a basic fundamental human right. It’s not a political right. … There are 20 more million people covered by healthcare. Ironically, large numbers of rural white Americans that had no access to healthcare were the primary beneficiaries of Obamacare. So, I’m excited," Gutiérrez says. "Could we have done more? Could we have reformed our immigration system? Absolutely."
