Good Work on Trumpcare. No Time to Celebrate
June 26, 2017[spreaker type=player resource=”episode_id=12235901″ theme=”light” autoplay=”false” playlist=”false” cover=”https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/images.spreaker.com/original/490fed221eb417cd38ea93b8a50c7ab3.jpg” width=”100%” height=”400px”]
I explain why we should be heartened that our pressure has delayed a vote on the Senate GOP’s healthcare bill. But that we need to keep pouring the pressure on because Mitch McConnell still plans on trying to pass his party’s draconian bill.
I’m also joined by Stefan Boyland, a health care employee benefits consultant. We speak with callers as we discuss our current healthcare system and where improvements are needed.

Ossoff, Trumpcare, and Russia
June 19, 2017[spreaker type=player resource=”episode_id=12177024″ theme=”light” autoplay=”false” playlist=”false” cover=”https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/images.spreaker.com/original/490fed221eb417cd38ea93b8a50c7ab3.jpg” width=”100%” height=”400px”]
I explain why I believe that, despite John Ossoff running a respectable race, that some of the huge amounts of money raised for his campaign would’ve been better spent on Virginia’s upcoming state elections.
I also give the latest inside scoop on Trumpcare, which Mitch McConnell is planning on ramming through the Senate while Americans will have less than a week to review it.

Trumpcare: Secret and Dangerous

I discuss what makes the Senate GOP’s Trumpcare bill so dangerous that they’ve decided to craft it in secret. I also detail how the U.S. Supreme Court will be taking up its first political gerrymandering case in its 228 years of existence, and how I expect them to rule.
