Senator Dodd speaks to the MyLeftNutmeg community about his current health issues, reforming healthcare, and the importance of having good coverage and regular checkups. The video was shot by Connecticut Man1, a disabled vetern who writes his own blog on CT politics, as well as regularly contributes on MLN. He talks with Dodd about the possibility of a single payer healthcare system. Dodd points out that he has to deal with the realities of the Senate and getting a public option through is going to be hard enough. He prioritizes getting reform done now over holding out for single payer. Dodd recognizes that this healthcare legislation isn’t going to be the end of the debate on healthcare reform. He closes with the promise that “more will happen in years to come.”
