January 23, 2014

Health industry whistleblower and author of Obamacare: What’s in It for Me?: What Everyone Needs to Know About the Affordable Care, Wendell Potter explains why the health insurance industry needed a bailout, why people would have faced policy cancellations regardless of the ACA, why some people haven’t bought insurance, the astonishing amount of states refusing Medicaid expansion, despite all of the problems Obamacare does improve healthcare for most Americans and why Vermont’s fight for Single Payer is crucial for the future of American healthcare.

On The Fun Half: Sam debates another Libertarian with a bad phone connection on what freedom really is, and your calls and IMs.

And keep the conversation going on our morning thread
