| Description | For 15 minutes Tuesday morning I had the ear of Wisconsin's District 2 representative, Tammy Baldwin, to talk about health care. Baldwin is being credited for drafting an amendment in the House Energy and Commerce Committee that bridged the differences dividing conservative and progressive Democrats. With the amendment the committee was able to move this final piece of legislation that will be molded into a health care bill for consideration and discussion on the House floor.
During the interview, Baldwin, a known single payer health care advocate, noted that while single payer supporters have been marginalized during the process there is a major effort currently in motion to have the option discussed in front of the full House of Representatives. Below is a transcription of our interview which can also be heard Friday at 5:30 p.m. on WORT. |
