President Obama scored a major political victory with the approval of national health care reform, but the dose of policy medicine left a bad taste in the mouths of many Americans, helping fuel a Republican victory in last year's midterm elections. The fight over health care reform continues in the courts and the Congress, as Republicans seek to overturn what they dub, "Obamacare."
In this first in a two-part series of interviews, California Western Professor Susan Channick talks about health care reform, its chances of survival on a national level, and whether Americans will ever truly embrace a single-payer system. Professor Channick's research interests include health law and public policy.
