Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and the other “Left, Right & Center” panelists discuss the reflection of the Veterans Affairs hospital scandal on President Obama and Obamacare, the Justice Department’s announcement that it will charge Chinese military officials with stealing business secrets from U.S. corporations, and reports in The New York Times that the NSA acknowledges corporate spying.

Scheer is joined by former governor of New York Eliot Spitzer in the center and Rich Lowry of the National Review on the right.
