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.  Along with medical service and 12 years as the Governor of Vermont, Dr. Dean is continuing to expand his resume to not only author and DNC chair, but also as chair of the Progressive Book Club, which you can join here.

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.

Then in this week's Got Docs? we show a clip from Liz Canner's Orgasm Inc. that takes a deeper look into the industry of female orgasm drugs.

Then we take a look at healthcare in Canada, Germany and Taiwan with Mary O'Brien, MD of Physicians for a National Health Program, Katharina Janus, visiting Professor at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health, Michael S. Chen, Vice President and CFO of Taiwan's Bureau of National Health Insurance, and Adrian Campbell Montgomery from the film SICKO. Adrian's been a patient in both the U.S. & Canadian Health Systems, and she can tell you there's quite a difference.
