Summary: Cenk wasn't ready to close the door on the current healthcare bill because some smart progressives were still supporting it. So he brought in RJ Eskow to get his thoughts on the arguments in favor of the bill. According to his HuffPo bio, RJ is a "...consultant with experience in health policy and finance, communications, and IT. He has performed work for the World Bank, the State Department, the Harvard School of International Public Health, the Government of Hungary, the Rockefeller Foundation, and quite a few other public and private clients, in the U.S. and over 20 foreign countries. He has also held senior-level positions (including CEO) at several health and insurance-related companies..."). RJ proceeds to debunk pro-bill arguments one by one.
