Part 1:
We talk with Paul Shafer, Assistant Professor, Health Law and Policy, Boston University.
We discuss the health insurance industry, and how it prevents subscribers from actually getting the health care that they need. We look at the main methods by which they do this, and how they skirt the ACA to prevent paying out to insured people.
Part 2:
We talk with Julie Ingersoll, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Florida.
We discuss the nomination of Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense.
We examine the qualifications that that have been cited. But we also look at his background, and the new apologies offered for his scandals, and his 'rebirth' as a fundamental christian. He is part of a 'christian reconstruction' cult which, in his mind, and, according to his new church overrides any US laws. We discuss his relationship with David Bartlett, a far right christian evangelist.
