19:46Now PlayingDespite helping expanding affordable insurance, Obamacare maintains the patchwork U.S. healthcare system that will still mean high costs, weak plans, and in many cases, no insurance for millions of Americans. We host a debate on whether the Affordable Care Act goes far enough to address the nation's health crisis with two guestsDr. Steffie Woolhandler, a primary care physician and cofounder of Physicians for a National Health Program; and John McDonough, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health and former senior adviser on national health reform to the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Between 2003 and 2008, McDonough served as executive director of Health Care for All in Massachusetts, playing a key role in the passage of the 2006 Massachusetts health reform law, known as "Romneycare," regarded by many as the model for the current federal healthcare law.
