As activists make their way around Capitol Hill for today’s day of
lobbying against the Stupak amendment, we ask: What will the Senate
healthcare bill look like? Amidst the grandstanding, egos, and
filibuster threats, is it possible to come out of the Senate with a more
progressive bill than the House passed?

Joining us to discuss are Maggie Mahar, author of Money-Driven
Medicine: The Real Reason Health Care Costs So Much,
, John Nichols
of The Nation, Jonathan Cohn of The New Republic and Olga
Pierce of ProPublica.
