After months of lobbying, grandstanding and political theater, two experts weigh in: Is the healthcare reform bill worth salvaging?
After months of lobbying, grandstanding and political theater,
Americans are wondering if there's any real reform left in the
health reform bill. Bill Moyers sits down with former insurance
executive turned public health advocate Wendell Potter, who argues
that all is not lost in the healthcare bill and details what he
likes about the legislation. Then, Moyers speaks with single-payer
advocate Marcia Angell on why she thinks the debate over reform
needs a fresh look at the economics and delivery of the care
promised in the bill. Wendell Potter, a former executive at CIGNA,
is a senior fellow at the Center for Media and Democracy. Marcia
Angell, the first woman to serve as editor-in-chief of the New
England Journal of Medicine , is a senior lecturer in the
department of social medicine at Harvard Medical School.
