Obamacare Is Just around the Corner

Hosted by

Two vastly popular programs -- Medicare and the Part D Drug Prescription Plan -- started out as confusing and controversial. Now Obamacare is about to become a reality, and this state is ahead of the game. In Southern California, who's going to be eligible? For what? When? We sample the upcoming commercial blitz and go to a town hall designed to help answer those questions. Also, is organized labor "too pale too male and too stale?" We hear about the AFL-CIO convention in downtown LA.

We plot the developments that complicated his challenges over the past two days, including Russia's initiative and responses from France, Syria and the US itself.
