Senator Baucus

Three misconceptions have driven the health care debate off course and have given rise to some of the problems in the Baucus proposal. These misconceptions need to be corrected so we can get back on track.

Senator Wyden discussed his "Free Choice Proposal" in detail with me, just two days after he met with President Obama to discuss the latest developments in the health care reform battle. Here's what he said.

Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey co-chairs the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Recently, she sat down with me to discuss health care reform.

Baucus' was supposed to be the "bipartisan" bill, but the only way it can truly be referred to as such is in the growing bipartisan distaste for the bill.

I talked extensively with Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) and what is apparent is the Congressman's passion to reform our nation's health care system.

During his nearly thirty years serving in the Senate, Senator Grassley has earned a reputation as a "straight shooter". That's why his recent behavior has been so disappointing.

Rarely in Washington do you come across a moment of unequivocal bipartisan alignment, especially on an issue as polarizing as health-care reform. Today was one of them.

If all Americans must be covered and if 50 million or so are not presently covered, how can there be a "shared" responsibility in paying for health care reform?

Opponents of a single-payer plan say Americans will never accept socialized medicine. But according to a 2008 poll, when Americans were asked what they thought of socialized medicine, 45 percent said it would be better.
