The Takeaway

Airs weekdays at 6AM on AM 820

Translating the Health Care Debate

Explaining the Terms that Matter

Tuesday, August 18, 2009

The facts. The skinny. The straight dope. If you're talking about health care reform (and who isn't, these days?), the truth has been thoroughly muddled lately with a lot of buzzwords, misnomers and outright fabrication. That's why The Takeaway is talking to Art Caplan. He's the director of the Center of Bio-Ethics at the University of Pennsylvania, and he's going to put the health care debate and such concepts as the potential "co-operative insurance consortia" into plain-speak.

  • Guests:
  • Arthur Caplan (Chair of the Department of Medical Ethics and the University of Pennsylvania. )
