Here is the first of the five videos available on MSNBC of Keith Olbermann's hour long special comment about health care reform. Finally someone is talking about what matters and why it should matter and why we should care. For Keith as for so many of us the political has become personal. As he has been forced into an all to0 intimate and intense dealing with the health care system as over the past several weeks he helped his elderly father deal with a major life-threatening crisis.

I highly recommend watching all five. It is not just moving and thought-provoking but educational. Plus the story of his father's health crisis and his personal reaction to what he encountered during his father's care is scattered throughout the five segments. As you might imagine, I am intensely identifying with him as memories of my own mother's broken hip, hip surgery and post op stroke eleven months ago are triggered by Keith's story.
