It's the biggest battle of Barack Obama's first year: fixing a health care system in crisis. Plagued by both spiraling costs and tens of millions uninsured, lawmakers have worked at a feverish pitch debating how to re-tool what accounts for nearly a fifth of the American economy. Meanwhile this broken system is highly profitable for many. In the back rooms a battle is raging as the powerful health care industry pushes for change that wont change their bottom line. On this weeks episode of Fault Lines, we go inside the American health care system, expose its cracks, and uncover the forces that are spending millions of dollars every day to influence the debate over health care reform.

It has been almost a year since president Obama was elected, so has change really come to America? Since he came to power, its been the mission of Fault Lines to look beyond the rhetoric to reveal whats really driving the big stories of the day. We've travelled across America -- from the desolate city streets of a dying Detroit, to the queues of uninsured looking for basic healthcare -- to give voice to millions of Americans who have fallen through the cracks, and hold those responsible to account.

Barack Hussein Obama mmmm mmmm mmmmm. What do his names mean - in reality? What languages are they from and what do they mean in those original languages? His parents named him...THEY knew what they meant. And now YOU can know. What's in a name? Hang on - you will soon find out. Pretty prophetic, actually.
