Marci Wheeler, a blogger and investigative journalist who writes for FireDogLake, talks to The Nation about the progressive's fight for real healthcare reform. Wheeler talks strategy, saying that Democrats need to "push the positive" to encourage people to not accept anything but the public option. Additionally, she criticizes the Baucus Bill, what she calls the "Max tax," which would push the middle class into bankruptcy.
