Arnie’s opening monologue today is about Asian Rice Seasoning, and about climate change and fire, and the go-bag.
In the first half of today’s Attitude, Marshall Allen of ProPublica talks with Arnie about extreme billing in health care. He tells the story of ER Room nurse Lauren Bard, who received bills of almost a million dollars after her employer, and Anthem, her employer’s health care administrator, alleged that she had not properly registered her premature infant on her health policy within a month of birth.
In the second half, our weekly visit with Dr. Politics, Steffen Schmidt features discussion on many topics in the week’s news. Election results in Virginia and Kentucky are a hot topic. John Bolton’s possible testimony about Ukraine; climate change awareness in investment portfolios; Mayor Buttigieg’s popularity in Iowa; continuous rollout of damaging information re: impeachment; Roger Stone; all politics is local; was Bernie resting on 2016 success?; Kamala Harris; what is the relationship between primary candidates and New Hampshire voters?; Biden; progressive agenda; Mayor Pete’s corporate contributors, are they fighting off Warren?; Obama took the money; which if any candidates would argue for jail time for Wall St. execs who cause financial disaster?; trashy health insurance policies; even talking about Medicare for All is more acceptable than it used to be.
