The Great Health Care Debate
DVD
60 minutes
RA395 .A3 G7 2004 DVD
This program with Bill Moyers examines the role of the media and special interest groups in the recent demise of national health care reform. More than $100 million has been spent on public relations, advertising, lobbying, and lawyering in connection with the health care debate, and nearly 100 public relations and lobbying firms have influenced it. These facts raise some tough questions about how our democracy works. Did the news media affect, and ultimately kill, the health care debate? How truthful is the information disseminated about health care reform? How do the special interests of an advocacy group shape its message?
