The Conversation: What's the Fix for Health Care?
Diane Sawyer and Ezra Klein discuss what's at stake with the health care summit
Feb. 25, 2010— -- The much-anticipated, six-hour live health care summit is finally under way, but it is still anyone's guess about whether President Obama and Congress will emerge with some sort of bipartisan bill on health care.
Some people argue that today's summit is nothing more than political theater. Others say it is the last chance to reach agreement on a bill. Obama made it clear last week that he wants an honest discussion where Republicans and Democrats sit down and talk about health care "in a spirit of good faith."
In today's Conversation, Diane Sawyer talks with Ezra Klein of the Washington Post about what people can really expect to come out of today's summit. Will a deal be struck now, or ever? Are the insurance companies the biggest problem, or are there other elements of health care that need to be overhauled? And if Klein were czar for a day, what would he propose to tackle the health care mess?
So take a break from C-SPAN and the summit to get some behind-the-scenes analysis of today's health care debate on the Conversation.
