Hosted by

Note: During KCRW's Summer Sign-up, we are airing the complete rebroadcast of today's To the Point in place of Which Way, LA?.

Two weeks into the Congressional recess, angry crowds are still showing up to vent their anger against healthcare reform. Is the Obama White House caving in on a controversial provision?  Will it lose liberal Democrats in the effort to appease Republicans? Also President Obama discusses the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with vets, and third world conditions in suburban Los Angeles.
