Midday’s Gary Eichten talks with former Republican U.S. Senator Dave Durenberger about landmark health care law signed by President Barack Obama earlier in 2010, and the push by some in Congress to already repeal the law. Durenberger also answers listener questions.
The measure hasn’t appeared to win the hearts and minds of Americans and many Republicans have seized on discomfort with the reforms to make significant gains in November's mid-term elections. Many of the Congressional winners have promised to push for repeal. A number of states are also fighting the law in courts.
Durenberger chairs the National Institute of Health Policy.
