Tonight, the Senate will vote on a proposed repeal of the President’s health care plan. It likely won’t pass since Democrats still have the majority, so why is having the vote still very significant? Why does Dr. Tom Coburn, a Republican senator from Oklahoma, say that we are staring at much higher costs and much lower quality of care if Congress or the courts don’t scrap the Obama plan soon? What ideas does Coburn have for addressing the pre-existing problems with the health care system? And how confident is he that this week’s overturning of the health care laws in court will pass muster at the Supreme Court? We discuss it all with Dr. Coburn.
