Summary: The road to health care reform is littered with casualties-most of them President Obama's progressive allies. In this edition of the Journal, Bill Moyers is joined by Terry O'Neill, president of the National Organization for Women, and The Nation's John Nichols to take a closer look at the newly signed reform legislation and explore why some say that reform is not yet done. In addition, Moyers speaks with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gretchen Morgenson for a candid examination of the obstacles facing substantive finance reform and what Washington's proposed legislation would-and would not-accomplish. The program concludes with an essay that conjures the spirit of 19th-century satirist Ambrose Bierce as it decries the pernicious influence of moneyed interests on health care and finance reform initiatives. Broadcast date: March 26, 2010. (56 minutes)
