Health Care: Rep. Alan Grayson keeps up the pressure for real health care reform

Speaking for the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party, Florida Democrat Alan Grayson reminds his colleagues of the life-and-death urgency of reforming health care insurance to make it universal, portable, affordable and cost-saving.
He appeared Friday on MSNBC's Countdown.
In an aside, as the White House and the Democratic House and Senate election committees begin their biennial search for Blue Dogs like Kirsten Gillibrand to run against progressives in the primaries, Grayson offers the reminder, too often ignored by party moderates, that "You can NOT beat a Republican by being one."
