What is the state of health care in West Virginia.

Very few issues affect every man, woman and child in America; but health care is one. As the debate rages in Washington D.C. about how to come to terms with health care reform, Decision Makers is taking a closer look at the state of medical care in West Virginia. Host Bray Cary welcomes the president of the state's largest private insurance company, the president of the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine and a doctor with the Alzheimer's Association. Bray also sits down with April Kaull, Vice-President of News for West Virginia Media and Beth Ryan, the managing editor of the The State Journal.

My guess is that the guy representing Blue Cross- Blue Shield voted for Obama and has trouble criticizing government-run health care.

Report Abuse

As I said on Aprils blog, I do think we need health care reform but I also think that the changes our elected official have brought forth are confusing,confining and way to vague. Again I say it is a case of the blind leading the blind.I think Mr Early had his finger on several of the real reasons we need change and also things that are wrong with the current bills under consideration in the congress.
