The United States Congress approved legislation this week overhauling the nation's health care system.

Supporters of the overhaul say it's about time. Some of the more ardent opponents, however, describe the legislation as armageddon.

In this week's program we take an in-depth look at this legislation and its potential impact on our way of life. Joining Gene Patterson are Dr. Richard Briggs of Mercy Health Systems and Dr. Mark Green of Blount Memorial Hospital.

Appearing in the Final Word segment this week are 6 News political analyst George Korda and political columnist Larry van Guilder with the Halls Shopper.
