Keith gives his report on the ballot measure in Oregon on health insurance for poor kids and who's supporting it and who's against it. Michael Moore weighs in on what's wrong with the bill and what we need to do in order to have health care for all in this country. His terrific documentary "Sicko" came out on DVD November 6th. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and rent it or buy it ASAP. There's a touching and sad anecdote that Moore shares in this clip about a friend of his with Parkinson's who said that when Bush stole the election in '00 it essentially was a death sentence for him, since he knew Bush would put the brakes on stem cell research and more. Check out the video to your right for more.
