And it's getting worse and worse not because of the quality of health care in America. I think that Governor Branstadt will tell you that the quality of health care in America is not only great, it's the best in the world. And I can prove that point by every time someone, who's wealthy that lives around the world becomes ill, they come to the United States of America for treatment. And it's just a fact . . . I think it's important that we frame this debate in America and it's not about the quality of health care; it's about the availability and affordability of health care, that's what the challenge we have in America . . ."</p> <p>LABEL: JM IA 5-1 (GR#82) DAGIZZ - Clip E</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/xz4rncfsw4 <br />To download the full campaign event, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/oyv4d24cg8</p> </div> <a href="/blog/43812-john-mccain-town-hall-meeting-05-01-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/38984-americans-job-market-worries 2008-11-20T11:55:31Z Gallup <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tP9tqvsqtVM&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tP9tqvsqtVM&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/38984-americans-job-market-worries"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/44007" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>While 73% of Americans say now is a bad time to find a quality job, they are not yet as pessimistic as they were at times in 2002 and 2003.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/38984-americans-job-market-worries">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/11369-c-k-prahalad-globalization-s-effects-on-the-global-poor 2008-11-10T20:42:40Z FORAtv <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EVShrk7Qj_s&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EVShrk7Qj_s&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/11369-c-k-prahalad-globalization-s-effects-on-the-global-poor"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/11560" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Complete video at: <a href="http://fora.tv/fora/showthread.php?t=1422">fora.tv</a> </p> <p>C.
