Translating the Health Care Debate

The World

The facts. The skinny. The straight dope. If you’re talking about health care reform (and who isn’t, these days?), the truth has been thoroughly muddled lately with a lot of buzzwords, misnomers and outright fabrication. That’s why The Takeaway is talking to Art Caplan. He’s the director of the Center of Bio-Ethics at the University of Pennsylvania, and he’s going to put the health care debate and such concepts as the potential “co-operative insurance consortia” into plain-speak.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever! Every gift will be matched 2:1, so your impact will go even further.
