We discuss the healthcare reform proposals under scrutiny in Washington with a look at how the reform packages serve the needs of African-Americans and other minority populations. Our booked guest Congressman Baron Hill had to cancel in order to chair a committee meeting, and so we welcome his communications director Katie Moreau and legislative assistant Joel Bailey. Get straight talk on the core elements comprising the Affordable Health Care for America Act (the House version of the reform bill) as we ask questions and dispel myths about healthcare reform. Also in this program: Liz Mitchell explores racism and segregation in the early days of Indiana University on a new edition of "Dark Past, Bright Future". Our featured musical track is a smooth R&B version of "The Christmas Song" by Will Downing. As always Bring It On! features regional and national headline news and a regional calendar highlighting events relevant to the local African-American community. Hosted by Beverly Calender-Anderson and Clarence Boone.
