As officials in Washington, DC take part in a historic debate about legislation that seeks to overhaul the nation’s healthcare system, The Public Square hears from local residents who talk about their experiences as patients, caregivers, policy analysts, and practitioners in the current system.

This month’s program is entitled “Are you sick of our healthcare system?” The show includes excerpts from a healthcare forum in February at Arlington’s Town Hall that was sponsored by the Obama-Biden transition team and in-depth interviews with some participants in the forum. The show concludes with a discussion between Dr. Alex Bingham, a licensed family practitioner with more than 20 years of experience as a physician in Massachusetts, and Nicholas Herold, MPH, who has worked on health care policy issues for many years.

The Public Square is hosted by Jeff Thielman, produced by Josh Lobel, and edited by Barbara Costa, Alex Stange and Joanne Morreale. This and other episodes of “The Public Square” can be downloaded by visiting publicsquaretv.com.
