This news report has a strong liberal bias, which reduces its value as a work of journalism - particularly since it is presented as news rather than opinion. However, it does provide useful information and perspectives, such as the analysis by Lawrence O' Donnell. But I remain concerned by the lack of balance in how facts and newsmakers are presented in this program.

It was a slap-dash interview with O' donnell who has an historical perspective on the passage of heealth care.

Both Olberman & O'Donnell can do better.

Lively and intriguing report. It rightly poses the question of what happens to poorer people. What about people with low incomes? The MSNBC report convincingly suggests that health care reform needs to address the needs of people who cannot afford expensive health insurance.

This dedicated report should reach the U.S. public, so the social dimension of health-care reform is recognized in the end and taken into account.

None of these bills are universal coverage bills.. More »
