Detailed examination of healthcare bills (kpfa audio)
If you're interested in learning about the House and Senate healthcare bills that are currently being merged, I recommend this interview with economist Uwe Reinhardt:
http://www.kpfa.org/archive/id/57373
He goes over many of the key points in each of the two bills, including the main differences between them. He's clearly left-leaning, but I think he does a good job of presenting factual differences before going on to explain his personal opinions. Also includes some nice history of healthcare legislation, but in the United States and internationally.
Also, for reference, here's Reinhardt's bio:
