Sally Pipes, president and CEO of Pacific Research Institute, speaks with Reason.tv's Ted Balaker on the politics of repealing Obamacare and just how bad that legislation is going to be for all of us. She's discussing her book about Obamacare and what's actually in it.

[I wrote about Ms. Pipes visit to the Ath at Claremont McKenna here. (In the spirit of full disclosure, she is also married to Professor Kesler.)]
