Discussion: "Which Way to Universal Health Care: Public Option or Single Payer?"

Health care reformers within the Democratic Party say that Single Payer is "off the table". They point instead to a proposed 'public option' that promises many benefits and lower cost.

What is the public option? How does it compare to a Single Payer solution?  What are its chances of being passed, and why is it being offered?

John Gaudette of Citizen Action Illinois and Health Care for America Now joins us Monday night as an advocate of the public option, and PDA member Dr. Anne Scheetz will explain
the merits of a single payer solution in a frank and open discussion
of the politics and policy of health care reform. A discussion, not
an argument.

If you're concerned about Health Care and Health Care reform, you should attend.
