Bernie Sanders, Adam Hochschild, and Opposing War
May 10, 2011"The USA has got to join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to everyone as a right, not a privilege," says Senator Bernie Sanders, who this week is introducing a new bill in Congress that would provide a single-payer health care system, administered at the state level, that would treat health care as a human right. Sanders' home state of Vermont is on its way to being the first state in the country with a single-payer plan, but he notes that all Americans should have that same right.Hari Kondabolu & John Fugelsang: No Laughing Matter
May 4, 2010President Obama went to the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday night to perform the President's traditional comedy routine in front of the press corps.
