Leslie is joined by Maura Calsyn, Managing Director of Health Policy at the Center for American Progress.

Maura and Leslie dive deep into the latest complications related to the Senate's new healthcare reform bill, and how if signed into law, it could have devastating consequences for America's middle class and lower income earners.

They also discuss the relative unpopularity of the bill as it's currently constructed according to a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, and take some great listener comments and questions on the topic from all sides of the political spectrum.
