Obama Hits Reset: Health Care Reform & a Skeptical Congress

After what has been universally described as a tough August, President Barack Obama kicks off the Fall political season on the attack, bringing his case for sweeping national health care reform directly to a skeptical Congress.  Senators and House members, after being literally and figuratively whacked around the country in town hall forums, come back from summer recess in much less of a reforming mood than before they left D.C.  How will the President refine his sales pitch and what will be the end result?

 

Guests:

Karen Tumulty, TIME Magazine national political correspondent; she has covered the health care reform debate in Congress & the White House

 

Elizabeth McGlynn, senior principal researcher at RAND; associate director of RAND Health

 

Rep. John Shadegg, R-Arizona’s 3rd District

  • Rep. Shadegg is a member of the House GOP Health Care Task Force and has authored two health care reform bills:  the “Patients Health Care Reform Act” and the “Health Care Choice Act.”
  • Shadegg has also served as Chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee and was the founding chairman of the Republican Study Committee.
