These overwhelming demonstrations of support for health insurance reform are particularly important because of the groups’ recognition that current proposals will not allow for federal funding of abortion, one of the major misconceptions perpetrated by anti-reform crusaders and insurance industry lobbyists.

I heard a great interview on my way home tonight about this on public radio but can't seem to find it. Do you happen to know who produced the segment?
