It's Obamacare open enrollment season, which means that, for people who rely on these plans for coverage, it's time to shop around. With enhanced premium subsidies and cost-sharing assistance, consumers may find savings by switching plans. It is especially important for people who lost their coverage because of the Medicaid unwinding to investigate their options. Many qualify for assistance. Meanwhile, the countdown to Election Day is on, and Ohio's State Issue 1 is grabbing headlines. The closely watched ballot initiative has become a testing ground for abortion-related messaging, which has been rife with misinformation. This week's panelists are Mary Agnes Carey of KFF Health News, Jessie Hellmann of CQ Roll Call, Joanne Kenen of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Politico, and Rachana Pradhan of KFF Health News. Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week they think you should read, too: Mary Agnes Carey: Stat News' “The Health Care Issue Democrats Can't Solve: Hospital Reform,” by Rachel Cohrs.

The mass shooting in Buffalo, NY has once again seemed to follow an all too familiar path of online radicalization and planning leading to violence. In this case the shooter acted as a lone wolf, but despite not have a direct collaborator, he had an online pack. The shooters ideology is shared by others, whether it be those who subscribe to the Great Replacement theory or creators of the memes that influenced him. Juliette Kayyem, former assistant secretary for homeland security, joins us for how despite acting solo, the shooter is not alone. Next, when a tragedy like the one in Buffalo happens, questions arise of possible warning signs and why action wasn't taken sooner. In this case, the shooter was reported to police for a possible threat of violence and had a mental health evaluation in 2021. There are also questions about writings and plans he had posted online and how one becomes radicalized. Aaron Gregg, reporter at the Washington Post, joins us for the troublesome trail that led to terror. Finally, it is the dominant model of modern parenting, and it might be time to quit it. Intensive parenting, also known as helicopter parenting, is a model where parents try to overextend themselves in trying to maximize their child's success, but research shows that it can lead to parental burnout and harm a child's competence and mental health. Elliot Haspel, early-childhood policy expert and contributor to the Atlantic, joins us for how to get away from anxiety-driven intensive parenting.

There is a lot of money in the private military and security contracting worlds. While the U.S. remains ahead of the pack in defense spending, countries like Saudi Arabia spend a greater percent of their gross domestic product than the U.S. Other countries in the Saudi region continue to build up their defenses by recruiting native forces or hiring private military contractors. The United Arab Emirates is known for hiring foreign nationals, including a large number of private military contractors. That practice is so ingrained in the country's culture that in 2004, leaders introduced an incentive program to promote hiring from within to reduce its dependency on a foreign workforce. Even with the incentives, the defense money continues to flow, and the UAE has one of the region's most formidable military forces. The UAE, according to senior adviser to Gulf state analytics Theodore Karasik, is one of the most attractive places for private military contractors to find work. Karasik explains why in this week's episode of Force for Hire. We're also joined by Washington Post reporter Aaron Gregg, who helps detangle some of the financial and military ties between the U.S., Saudi Arabia and the UAE. A full transcript of this episode can be found here. podcast@stripes.com
