Your Call 090109 What can we learn from the passage of Medicare?

What can we learn from the passage of Medicare? On the next Your Call, we'll talk about President Lyndon Johnson's successful push for Medicare in 1965. The political climate at the time was just as divisive and fierce as it is today. So how did it pass? We'll be joined by James Morone, co-author of The Heart of Power: Health and Politics in the Oval Office, and Bay Area Dr. Henry Abrons.

Shoot an email to feedback@yourcallradio.org or join us live at 11 a.m. What can health care proponents learn from the strategies used in the 60s? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
James A. Morone, Chair and Professor of Political Science, Brown University, co-author of The Heart of Power: Health and Politics in the Oval Office

Dr. Henry Abrons, Physicians for a National Health Program
