152 - Answering The Right's Deadly Lies In The Health Care Debate

Today, the show is all about health care reform. You'll hear how to debunk a whole slew of right-wing talking points against progressive plans to revamp our health care system.

Lives are at stake!

Among the lies debunked:

--the U.S. has the best health care system in the world
--universal coverage nations have long waiting lists compared to the U.S.
--Obama's plan is socialized medicine

Check out the podcast for all the details.

(PS: Right-wingers, if you want to write in to me, fine, but at least do me the courtesy of listening to the podcast first. Please don't respond just on the basis of the brief preview above. Thanks!!)

Scheduling note: during the summer, Blast The Right will come out every three weeks.

  1. This program is a "must" for all progressives interested in health care reform.

    For an egregious example of the Right's lies, see:

    I fear we're facing an uphill battle, despite the very shaky "veto-proof" majority in Washington. We can't let them beat us on this one.
