Jan. 31, 2012 - PRLog -- Washington, D.C., -- In less than two years, BioCentury This Week TV has already become the place where movers and shakers in healthcare come to make their views known -- and the place they go to hear what their colleagues have to say.

And what they say makes things happen.

BioCentury's interview with Mitt Romney adviser Norm Coleman is the latest example. On Sunday, Jan. 22, the former Senator from Minnesota made news when he predicted the GOP won't repeal the healthcare reform law, even if a Republican candidate defeats President Obama this November.

"You will not repeal the act in its entirety, but you will see major changes, particularly if there is a Republican president," Coleman told BioCentury This Week. "You can't whole cloth throw it out. But you can substantially change what's been done."

The news ricocheted through the blogosphere, getting picked up by more than 20 national news and political sites (see list below).

And the Romney campaign quickly issued a rebuttal, saying, "Gov. Romney can and will repeal Obamacare, and is committed to doing so."

Getting the right people, asking the right questions, staying on top of the big issues of the day -- BioCentury This Week is the only news show that can keep you informed about what matters in healthcare and medicine today.
