With health care reform now the most pressing and talked-about domestic issue in America, the hallmark PBS programs NOW ON PBS, TAVIS SMILEY and NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT are collaborating to provide a single timely and much-needed in-depth look at health care reform in America and the
latest government proposals to address the issue.

Information and a special video preview of the show can be found at www.pbs.org/now/healthcarespecial.

The program will include late-breaking news and analysis on the health care debate and also feature cultural, political and economic insight
from each program:

NOW ON PBS will examine how reform may change the way we live, especially for boomers who have their own coverage, but are also
responsible for aging parents and grown children.

NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT will investigate the costs and controversies of employer-provided health care and new coverage requirements many
companies are adopting as a means of controlling health care.

TAVIS will examine the causes and effects of childhood obesity, particularly within communities of color, and explore ways to address
this health care crisis.

An examination of one of the most far-reaching and controversial initiatives in decades, from the most trusted journalists in America.
