Ithaca DSA Presents: Healthcare Reform in Washington

Ithaca Democratic Socialists of America Presents #404:

"Healthcare Reform in Washinton" Nathan Shinagawa, County Legislator,
and Theresa Alt discuss health insurance reform. Single payer would
clearly be best, but Washington politicians are pushing
multi-insurance systems, claiming that including a public one will
keep the many companies honest. Whether or not this can work depends
on what kind of public option. Recorded June 23, 2009.
