WATCH THE BATTLE OVER HEALTH CARE TONIGHT

Tonight PBS is broadcasting a special report about health care reform.  Click here for a video preview and to check the schedule in your area.

From Abby Kavanaugh, KCET eNews Editor

Although the drama surrounding the current health care debate has made for some entertaining TV, it has also served as a distraction from any real analysis of the proposed reforms and their impact on Americans.

I don’t know about you, but I feel as if there’s way too much at stake for me to take sides on this issue based merely on the opinions of pundits and talk show hosts. Both political parties can make an impassioned case for their position, but only PBS offers the kind of analysis and insight you need to understand the reality behind the rhetoric.

On September 24, KCET will air a 90-minute PBS Special Report on Health Care Reform. An unprecedented collaboration of the hallmark PBS programs NOW on PBS, Tavis Smiley and Nightly Business Report, the special will include late-breaking news and analysis on the debate and will explore the potential cultural, political and economic impact of health care reform on everyday Americans.

This issue is too important to simply have an opinion. It’s essential to have an informed opinion.
I agree Abby!  I hope this non-profit public broadcasting service will give us a truly non partisan viewpoint.  Know what you are talking about at dinner parties with your friends.    It's way more fun for you and your listener when you are ranting and screaming with an informed opinion (a lecture I give to myself... since I tend to rant and scream fairly loudly).   :  )

I'll for sure watch this. It would be great to find out what is fact and what is fiction - if this program is indeed non-politically sponsored and unbiased. Is such a thing possible? Guess we'll see.
