Threats to private healthcare insurers? Single payer leading to socialism? As the House and Senate move further in on their dissection of healthcare reform, GRITtv had our own house call from Dr. Howard Dean.

Out with a new book, Howard Dean’s Prescription for Real Healthcare Reform: How We Can Achieve Affordable Medical Care for Every American and Make Our Jobs Safer, Dean discusses why we shouldn't be worried about private insurers, how "Americans are conservative with a small 'c' " and how there are Americans living abroad who actually like a single payer plan. Who knew?

Sacha Baron Cohen’s new film, Bruno, premiered in theaters on Friday to mixed reviews. Several were offended by the provocative antics of Cohen on screen, but was he offending the wrong people?

Here to discuss the film we have Richard Kim of The Nation, Antoine B. Craigwell of GBMNews.com, and Shawn Edwards creator of www.iloveblackmovies.com and contributor at FoxTV.

And finally, new filmmaker Blair Doroshwalther's "The Fire This Time" examines the ongoing cases of the New Jersey Seven, seven queer women of color who's response to street harassment created a media firestorm and led to prison sentences that many feel have more to do with issues of sexual orientation, race, and class, than of how they defended themselves against a jerk on the street.

The documentary production is still ongoing as are the appeals and activism around the NJ7. To keep updated about the film and to see how you can get involved in the cause, head to "thefirethistimethefilm.com."

Thanks to Streetfilms and I-Witness for video in tonight's show.
