Five months into his first term and riding high on solid public approval numbers, President Barack Obama turned his focus to one of the nation’s most seemingly intractable problems, the cost and availability of health care.  Between the President and the Congress there are almost as many reform proposals as there are elected officials in Washington.  Which mix of mandates, taxes, and spending cuts will rally enough bipartisan support to make it to the President’s desk? 

Host Pam Hardy sits down with Professor Bryan Liang, the E. Donald Shapiro Professor of Law at California Western and Executive Director of the Institute of Health Law Studies, to talk about how the competing proposals would affect employers, taxpayers, and the health care community.
