Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and the other “Left, Right & Center” panelists discuss the Senate’s bill to restore funding for Obama’s health care law and avert a government shutdown, what will happen when Obamacare goes into effect and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s “sort-of filibuster.” Also, the cooling of tensions between the U.S. and Iran.

Scheer is joined by host Matt Miller and Rich Lowry of the National Review.
