Even more about healthcare

Of feedback, flaws, and fixes

We touch on school violence and discuss where the focus should be in seeking solutions.

We listen to feedback from a friend-of-the-show on his ideas for healthcare and the role of profit. We compare the U.S. to other countries and use those differences to suggest changes including what Tim would do in his fictional healthcare company.

We highlight some of our favorite charities.

For his whack-job, John calls out a hitter who has hit it big, and Tim praises the DOJ and FBI for catching foreign agents trying to police people in America.

Ideas first
Bald, Blind, and Buddies
Two buddies, one a bald graduate of the London School of Economics, and the other, a blind psychiatrist offer their vastly different takes on life and current issues. They model friendship that thrives in the arena of ideas where they take their ideas seriously but not themselves or each other.
