The Republicans and the health care industry have gutted the health care bill so much, it probably won't pass. But Republicans won't vote for it because they want no health care reform, and GOOD Democrats won't vote for it because it's been compromised so much it's not good reform.

Yes, Israel & Mexico cover all their citizens with health care.

Media Matters for America presents its first-ever Health Care Misinformer of the Year award to Betsy McCaughey.

The debate over health care reform has dominated much of the media spotlight this year, and the conservative media have responded with a wide array of falsehoods and distortions aimed at twisting the debate and stopping progressive policies from being enacted.
