ObamaCare in PA Update: Abortion Coverage Banned, Still No Medicaid Expansion [VIDEO]

This is a video from my new show, Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.

In this video, I discuss PA Republicans' strict ban on abortion coverage in the state health insurance exchange being created as part of ObamaCare that has now been signed into law and a group of Republican state senators who momentarily became fighters for Medicaid expansion and could have made it happen but then reversed their positions to allow its obstruction to continue.

Education Funding in Comparison to Prison Funding: Analysis by the PBPC

DOMA Repeal Sets Off Dramatic Stand-Off in the PA House; LGBT Equality Legislation Introduced

Proposed Gun Restrictions in the PA Legislature; Study Shows PA with Highest Lost/Stolen Firearms from Dealerships

As well as The Breakdown, which this week will feature an exclusive interview with Sue Lyons, author of the resolution calling for a moratorium on fracking recently formally adopted as the official position of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party about fracking and her resolution.

All that plus Counterpoint PA's special homage to Keith Olbermann, the Worst Pennsylvanians of the Week!

Max Myers: Democratic Candidate for PA Governor on Progressive Issues [VIDEO]

This is a video from my new Internet newscast, the only grassroots progressive media show exclusively about Pennsylvania politics, Counterpoint PA.

In this video, I list the positions of Democratic PA gubernatorial candidate Max Myers on key progressive issues in areas including education, ObamaCare in PA, abortion, union rights, fracking, marijuana, and genetically engineered foods. I got to question Max personally and pinned him down on a number of issues not addressed on his official campaign website. I analyze how progressive his positions are as I go along, and also rant a tiny bit about the importance of primary elections.
