Ed Schultz: GOP Doesn't Give A Damn About Your Health

Obama's healthcare plan is now in effect and the GOP couldn't be angrier. Apparently they believe that it's a bad idea to make sure that children with pre-existing conditions have medical care. We're already starting to see positive results in America as a result of this bill yet the Republicans still want to repeal it. Ed Schultz assails the Right Wing for not giving a crap about Americans' health.

This Election Needs YOU!

It's no secret that a lot of progressives in America are disappointed with President Obama and the elected Democratic politicians in Washington. As a result, these progressives are threatening to just stay home on Election Day this year. Not only is this anger detrimental to the Party but it could have disastrous consequences for our country. Mike Papantonio talks with author Paul Loeb who says that we have to get past our anger or else we could be looking at a Congress that is actually worse then the one we had during the Bush years.

Papantonio Goes 4 Against 1 on CNBC, Again

Republicans want to lower the corporate tax rate to about 5.25% in order to allow companies to bring the money that they've hidden in offshore tax havens back to our country where they will then use it to create jobs and help our economy. On paper that sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately their idea is rooted in the false belief that corporations care about American workers which their actions prove they couldn't care less about Main Street America. Mike Papantonio takes on four right wing mouthpieces who blindly support Wall Street's continuous rape of America.

Dangers Lurk Beneath the Surface of Gulf of Mexico

In spite of what you might have read in the news, the oil in the Gulf of Mexico has not just disappeared. It's lurking on the bottom, destroying marine life and entire ecosystems. On top of that, we are now starting to see adverse health effects from BP's use of the toxic oil dispersant known as Corexit, which is being dumped into the Gulf as we speak. Mike Papantonio talks about some of the effects that we're now seeing as a result of BP's dispersant chemicals with Dr. Riki Ott, one of the leading experts on the impact of oil spills on human health.

RFK, Jr. and Senator Whitehouse Expose Republican Obstructionists

Recently the Census Bureau released a new report showing that the poverty rate in America has risen to a staggering 14.3 percent. In addition, we now have roughly 10% of the American workforce unemployed and that doesn't include the numbers of people who are no longer receiving unemployment benefits or who have quit looking for work. And in spite of the Republicans' claims that the Democrats are not doing enough to create jobs, the Senate passed a bill last week that would make billions of dollars available to small businesses to create more jobs for working Americans. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. discusses this bill, as well as the Senate's other efforts to decrease the number of unemployed Americans, with Senator Sheldon Whitehouse.

FDA Fails on DePuy Hip Replacement

The Food and Drug Administration has been asleep at the wheel for the last decade, thanks in part to George Bush's decision to pack the agency with his industry-friendly allies. As a result, we've seen hundreds of product recalls when inspectors and companies fail to do their jobs and properly test medical devices and pharmaceuticals. And as we're starting to see in the case of Johnson & Johnson's DePuy hip implant, the FDA and the company actually knew the dangers associated with their product but decided that consumers didn't need to know how dangerous their hip implants were. Mike Papantonio discusses the latest in a long line of medical device recalls with attorney and Consumer Advocate Ben Gordon.

Sharron Angle had her first debate with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid this week and the Tea Party candidate told the Senator to "man up."

That's the Tea Party's vision of America and Mike Papantonio appears on Ed Schultz's MSNBC show to tell us what the Tea Party's America will look like.

Glaxo's Avandia Cover Up

When it comes to lying, no industry does it better than the pharmaceutical industry. By faking test results, hiding unfavorable results, and paying off the right people, pharmaceutical companies have been able to push dangerous drugs onto American consumers who pay for the company's negligence with their own health and sometimes with their own lives. Mike Papantonio talks with investigative journalist Paul Thacker who's uncovered yet another instance of pharmaceutical company cover ups, this time with Glaxo Smith Kline's blockbuster drug Avandia.
