GRITtv: Who Do The Blue Dogs Really Represent in the Healthcare Reform Debate?

What stands in the way of reasonable, common sense healthcare reform? Rep. Maxine Waters says that liberal democrats who support single payer have already compromised by agreeing to a public option. But even that now seems in peril, thwarted by Blue Dog Democrats and Republicans who seem to be going to bat for the insurance industry. Who will prevail? Rep. Maxine Waters of California?s 35th congressional district, Eric Schoenberg, an Adjunct Associate business professor at Columbia University and a former investment banker, Jack Lohman, a former small business owner and the author of "Politicians - Owned and Operated by Corporate America," and Ray Stever, President of the New Jersey Industrial Union Council on the healthcare battle and whether real reform is possible.
