Natalie Davis, CEO of United States of Care, joins The Electorette host Jen Taylor-Skinner to examine the critical postpartum care crisis in the United States. Despite being a high-income nation, America's maternal mortality rates highlight significant gaps in postpartum support. Davis discusses The 100 Weeks Project, a groundbreaking initiative designed to transform postpartum care by providing comprehensive, personalized support from conception through the first year postpartum. This initiative addresses the physical, mental, and social needs of mothers, fathers, and partners alike. The conversation shifts to the challenges of healthcare access for families, focusing on insurance disparities that disproportionately affect mothers. Davis and Taylor-Skinner explore cultural and societal barriers that hinder progress and discuss the need for a reimagined healthcare system—one that recognizes diverse family structures and guarantees essential care for all mothers. The discussion also highlights the emotional toll of navigating the healthcare system, particularly for mothers facing early motherhood struggles and NICU experiences. With the Supreme Court case Braidwood v. Becerra threatening to dismantle free preventive healthcare services under the Affordable Care Act, Davis underscores the urgent need for advocacy and systemic change. This episode offers an insightful and urgent call to action, emphasizing the importance of healthcare advocacy and the need for accessible, equitable postpartum care nationwide.

Happy 200th birthday, Scottish Fire and Rescue Services!!! I'm a bit late to the party. Still, I've done my best to celebrate your anniversary in the best way I can - by giving homage to the amazing fire safety engineering and firefighting that came out of Edinburgh and your founder, James Braidwood. In this episode, we tap into the secrets of early fire safety measures and discover the fascinating history of firefighting with our guest, Michał Stachowicz, a dedicated Scottish firefighter. We promise you'll gain a newfound appreciation for the roots of fire engineering, which surprisingly predate the establishment of professional firefighting. From the early codifications of the 1400s to the impactful Great Fire of London in 1666, this episode is brimming with riveting tales and historical insights into the evolution of fire protection in the UK.We take a journey through time as we contrast the altruism of today's firefighters with the profit-driven origins of fire protection, shaped significantly by insurance companies. Learn about the preventative measures that were set in place long before formal fire services existed, including the fascinating use of historical firewalls in cities like Copenhagen. We also explore the pioneering efforts of James Braidwood, whose revolutionary work in risk management and fire prevention set the stage for organised firefighting in Edinburgh and London during the 19th century.Join us as we honour Braidwood's legacy and his transformative impact on fire safety regulations and practices. From his groundbreaking techniques, such as early personal protective equipment and strategic fire station placements, to his radical ideas on fire spread prevention, Braidwood's forward-thinking approach remains influential. Despite facing financial hurdles and limited cooperation, his vision for a unified fire service prevailed, underscoring the enduring significance of his contributions. Michał Stachowicz helps us celebrate the indelible mark Braidwood left on the firefighting community, offering a compelling narrative for history enthusiasts and fire safety advocates alike.Read more about Braidwood in this memoir book: Fire Prevention and Extinction by James Braidwood.Visit the Museum of Scottish Fire HeritageLearn about the Great Fire of Edinburgh Cover image: One of Edinburgh's first fire engines from 1824, By Kim Traynor - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=19965754----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

Our last podcast in Australia was with the lovely Alison Jackson and Dan Lorrimer. We featured their story in Ed.3 of the We Are Makers Magazine. We were so delighted to finally meet in person in Braidwood where they live and work. Alison Jackson and Dan Lorrimer are metalsmiths, partners in both life and business. Known for their shared love of working with their hands, they often describe their roles as "Dan does big metals, and Alison does small metals," though their world of making is much more intertwined than that. Alison's background is in traditional silversmithing and jewellery, while Dan is trained in contemporary sculpture, tool-making, and machining. Together, they run Ferro Forma, a metalsmithing workshop specializing in handcrafted, small-batch edition objects for both individuals and homes. The name "Ferro Forma" reflects their craft, with "Ferro" meaning ferrous or iron, and "Forma" representing form. This name captures the essence of their work, as everything they create or shape begins with iron. Whether it's the tools they use or the materials they employ, iron serves as the foundation that makes their craft possible. WANT TO SUPPORT THIS PODCAST?

On our Australia trip we took a bus to Braidwood to visit Lea Durie, who we featured in Ed.9 of our We Are Makers Magazine. It's always great to connect with someone who you've spoke to so much online and over email to then meet in person. We are so thankful for these experiences and connections we get to have through our mission. From Lea's early experiments with clay in fifth grade to her current life as a full-time ceramicist in Braidwood, Southern New South Wales, her journey is one of continuous discovery and dedication. Initially trained as a landscape architect, her love for pottery was rekindled through a night class during a lonely stint in Melbourne. This reawakening led her back to clay after various life detours, including a significant career shift and raising a family. Her professional turning point came with a visual arts degree focused on ceramics and a transformative mentorship that guided her into taking her craft from a passionate hobby to a serious business. We hope you enjoy this incredible chat we had with Lea in her home studio! WANT TO SUPPORT THIS PODCAST? Head over to https://www.wearemakers.shop and pick up a copy of our printed publication.

In February 1883, dozens of men and boys descended into the depths of the Illinois prairie to mine coal. By noon, the pump man saw water rising in the mine tunnels. Little did he know that something was horribly wrong. In a matter of minutes, a third of the men in the mine that day would meet a terrible end in what would become one of the worst coal mining accidents in Illinois history.

This Day in Legal History: The Copyright Act of 1909 is EnactedOn this day in legal history, March 4, 1909, marks a pivotal moment for copyright law in the United States with the enactment of the Copyright Act of 1909. This legislation fundamentally transformed the landscape of copyright protection by making the infringement of a copyright a federal crime for the first time. Prior to this act, copyright laws were more fragmented and less uniformly enforced, leading to widespread disputes and uncertainties over copyright ownership and rights.The journey toward robust copyright protection in the U.S. began with the Copyright Clause in the U.S. Constitution, which empowered Congress "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." Following this mandate, the first federal copyright law was enacted in 1790, primarily focusing on books, maps, and charts. However, as technology and the arts evolved, so too did the need for more comprehensive copyright legislation.The Copyright Act of 1909 expanded the scope of copyright to include not only written works but also music and other creative works, offering protection for published and unpublished works. It introduced the concept of "mechanical rights," a significant development given the era's technological advancements in recording and reproducing music. This act also established a mandatory deposit system, requiring copies of copyrighted works to be sent to the Library of Congress, further centralizing and formalizing copyright protection.Moreover, the 1909 act laid the groundwork for future copyright laws, including the significant overhaul seen in the Copyright Act of 1976, which remains the basis for copyright law in the United States today. The 1976 act extended copyright terms, made copyright protection automatic upon creation of a work, and recognized the right of authors to control and profit from various uses of their works.The Copyright Act of 1909 was a crucial step in recognizing the value of intellectual property and ensuring that creators could exercise and enforce their rights across the nation. It underscored the importance of copyright as a driver for innovation, creativity, and cultural development. On this day, we acknowledge not just the enactment of a law but the beginning of a new era in the protection of creative expression in the United States.The U.S. Supreme Court is set to deliver a ruling today, which is notably a day before Colorado's presidential primary election. This ruling could potentially affect the ballot eligibility of former U.S. President Donald Trump, a Republican presidential candidate who was previously removed from the Colorado ballot by a lower court due to his involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. The Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority including three justices appointed by Trump, has been asked to decide on this matter urgently by the Republican Party of Colorado.The case centers on Trump's disqualification under the 14th Amendment's Section 3, which prohibits individuals who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the U.S., or given aid to its enemies, from holding public office. The context of Trump's disqualification stems from his actions and speech on January 6, encouraging his supporters to "fight like hell" against the certification of Joe Biden's 2020 election victory, which led to a violent siege of the Capitol.During the Supreme Court's deliberations on Trump's appeal, justices across the ideological spectrum expressed concerns about the implications of state-level decisions disqualifying presidential candidates, indicating a complex legal debate on the enforcement of the 14th Amendment's disqualification clause and the necessity of congressional action to enable such enforcement.Additionally, the Supreme Court is also considering a separate but related case regarding Trump's claim of immunity from prosecution for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Legal experts anticipate the Court is likely to reject Trump's immunity claim, but the timing of the Court's proceedings may delay a criminal trial regarding election subversion charges, potentially impacting the upcoming presidential election.This situation underscores the legal and constitutional challenges surrounding Trump's candidacy and the broader implications for the 2024 presidential election, highlighting the judiciary's role in resolving disputes that have significant political ramifications.US Supreme Court to issue ruling; Trump ballot case looms | ReutersThe Biden administration is set to defend the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) mandate for health insurers to cover preventive care services, including HIV-preventing medication and cancer screenings, at no additional cost to patients before a U.S. appeals court. This mandate, integral to the ACA enacted in 2010 and popularly known as Obamacare, is being challenged in court by a group of businesses led by Texas-based Braidwood Management. These plaintiffs object to covering HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) on the grounds that it contravenes their religious beliefs by promoting homosexuality and drug use.The controversy has led to a lawsuit heard by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, involving arguments over the requirement for insurers to provide coverage for PrEP drugs, which are crucial in preventing HIV infection. In March 2023, U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor in Fort Worth issued a ruling that not only supported the plaintiffs' stance on PrEP but also broadly questioned the constitutionality of the ACA's preventive care mandate. O'Connor criticized the law for granting excessive authority to a federal task force responsible for selecting covered services, as its members are not presidential appointees confirmed by the Senate.While O'Connor's decision is temporarily on hold pending appeal, it permits Braidwood to opt out of covering PrEP, hinting at broader implications for the ACA's preventive service coverage. Should O'Connor's ruling be upheld, it could lead to insurers imposing co-pays and deductibles for a range of preventive services, although it does not affect recommendations made before the ACA's implementation, such as breast cancer screening.The appeals court panel includes judges appointed by both Republican former President Donald Trump and Democrat President Joe Biden, adding a layer of political intrigue to the proceedings. This case is the latest in a series of legal challenges to Obamacare, including a notable 2018 attempt by O'Connor to strike down the entire ACA, a ruling that was ultimately reversed by higher courts. This ongoing legal battle underscores the contentious nature of healthcare reform in the United States and the ACA's enduring legacy as a subject of legal and political debate.US court to weigh Obamacare mandate to cover HIV drug, cancer screeningsThe IRS is set to broaden the accessibility of its pilot free e-filing tool, Direct File, to all eligible individuals in 12 states starting March 12, following the completion of platform testing. Beginning March 4, the tool will become available for new users to initiate their tax returns 24/7, as indicated by a notification on the Direct File website. This development represents a significant expansion of the service, which previously offered limited access to new users. However, the program will continue to operate with certain limitations, including a daily cap on new users, potentially closing access if the cap is exceeded, though those who have already begun their returns will retain access even on closed days.IRS Free E-File Tool to Open Fully in 12 States on March 12 Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

We may be politically divided, but when it comes to healthcare there is actually a lot we agree on as a nation. We want healthcare that is affordable. We want a healthcare system that is easy to understand and navigate. We want to know we will receive good care when we need it most. These insights are something our guest Natalie Davis takes to heart in her work at United States of Care. She and her team are fighting hard to help create a more dependable healthcare system for diverse and underserved Americans. We discuss:Why we should never use the term “value-based care” ever again.Braidwood vs. Becerra: The court case that may eliminate free preventive services for half of all Americans.The double whammy of US healthcare: system failures and personal shame.How to nurture listening and belonging on a team.Natalie says before you start listening, you need to consider who is being failed by the healthcare system and prioritize hearing their stories:“If we look at something like maternal health – which is a work that we're doing right now – if you look at the data, it is women of color, especially Black women who are left behind and facing a real failure of our system, which is causing morbidity and mortality. And so, for our organization, we are listening loudly to Black women and we are talking to people in communit[ies], we are talking in focus groups to really make sure we understand those issues. Because, if the people who are not served by this healthcare system are listened to and then served it will make the healthcare system function better for all of us.”Relevant LinksUnited States of Care's websiteUnited Solutions for CarePatient-First Care (a.k.a.

  Do you know the old idiom, the devil is in the details? In this episode, Natalie Davis, co-founder, and CEO of the nonprofit United States of Care, tells Power Station about the importance of treating every detail in the policy making process as an opportunity to produce the most impactful legislation possible. And she is admittedly obsessed with public policy implementation, creating a plan that delivers great outcomes in real time. It takes close collaboration with local policy makers, public agencies, and community based organizations that understand the needs of their regions and where the barriers might lie to producing a powerful implementation blueprint. Natalie and her team listen to what local communities want from their healthcare systems and United States of Care shapes its policy campaigns around those priorities. Right now, United States of Care is laser-focused on the legal decision from Braidwood vs. Becerra, which strips free health screenings and other preventive care from our doctor's visits. Most people simply want to keep themselves and their loved ones healthy, a system rooted in equity and caring. That is the mission at the heart of this essential organization.                  

It's summertime at the Bar, and while normally that means drinks with little umbrellas in them, this summer it means looking back at a consequential Supreme Court case, and the effect it has had on group health plans at both a federal and state level over the past 12 months.

Do we have an obligation to only buy ethically sourced goods? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Jack Benson gives his child a prototype toy from his company as a Christmas present. When they check the toy battery compartment, they find a sad poem written in Chinese. Jack decides to fly to China and visit the factory where the toy is produced. He pays an employee to read the poem over the factory floor loudspeaker. A woman on the factory line stands up in acknowledgement, then humbly returns to her work. Later, after the shift, she slips him a book of her writings, presumably, expressing more thoughts and emotions about her life.COMPANION PODCAST (E48.): Listen to our panel discussions of After Dinner Conversation short stories (“Philosophy | Ethics Short Story Discussions”).BOOK LINK: Download the accompanying short story here.MAGAZINE: Sign up for our monthly magazine and receive short stories that ask ethical and philosophical questions.

Turn Heads; Not Ankles is the mantra behind Emily Braidwood, an off-the-shelf orthotic line designed to allow women to wear the shoes they want to wear so they can walk all day, dance all night and exercise for life. The Emily Braidwood brand was created and developed over several years by entrepreneurial sports podiatrist Emily Smith. They are not a replacement for custom-made orthotics but more of a precursor. Emily was also on Episode 212: Be Willing to Experiment. In this episode, we discuss: The historical development of the original idea. Why it's not a replacement for custom-made orthotics. The process of the concept to prototype, and then getting it on the market. Filling a gap in the market. Suppose you have an idea and you feel you can solve an ongoing problem. In that case, you should consider developing it further yourself, with a group of podiatrists or partnering up with someone who has done something similar. If you have any questions, you can connect with Emily at emily@emilybraidwood.com. Business Coaching Have you decided to grow your podiatry business? If you have, let's talk.

Today on the Ready, Set, Launch podcast we are joined by the one and only Carmen Braidwood! Carmen is a radio and tv presenter, media trainer and confidence on camera coach. In this episode, we're going to be chatting all about video content and how you can confidently start showing up online and sharing your expertise so that you can attract dream leads and grow your brand. Here's what you'll learn: How Carmen's experience on Radio and TV shaped her to become a confidence on camera coach. Why you might be struggling to show your face on camera, and how to stop caring about what people think. The tools you can use to make high quality, short form content on your iphone.

Today on the show I speak will with Birth Cartographer, PhD Student and Freebirthing Mama Catherine Bell. Catherine's concept of The Birth Map differs from a birth plan in that is allows a map of different options rather than fixed ideas or outcomes in birth. For example for freebirthers it might be an option of what does it look life if I don't get the pool up in time? Do I land Birth? Or what does it look like if I transfer? The idea is to explore all your options and decisions very throughly so in the moment of birthing you don't need to enter into your thinking brain at all. We also chat about Catherine's silent 1st stage and 20 minute freebirth of the 3rd child as well as the freebirth of her 4th child when she was grieving her grandmothers passing. We talk about the power that comes with responsibility and accepting death as part of freebirth or any birth for that matter! Catherine is a delight to speak with and I love the work she is doing in the birth community. Enjoy! More about Catherine: I have been summed up in three words: Birth, Death and Playgrounds. As The Birth Cartographer and author of The Birth Map: boldly going where no birth plan has gone before, I support pregnant women and their partners to create Birth Maps so that they can navigate the maternity landscape with confidence. I also provide Birth Cartography training to doulas, midwives and obstetricians. My PhD at the university of Canberra will evaluate The Birth Map as a way to facilitate communication and informed decision making in maternity services. The death industry posed similar challenges to the birth industry. To help address this, I have joined the board of Tender Funerals Canberra Region. Tender Funerals is a not-for-profit, community-led approach to funerals. I came to this path after doing Death Walker training with Zenith Virago, who opened my eyes to the parallels between birth and death. Playgrounds fill the space between, be this the metaphorical 'playground' of a life lived in love and kindness, with peace and needs met or the physical playgrounds, I seek to fill the space in between with fairness and connection. This all began with the new playground for my town, Braidwood. This was a process of building connections, communication and fundraising. What resulted was a fabulous mutli-generational space to gather in. With this project, our community honed it's strengths and created a forum for all voices to be heard. Mostly I am a Mother. We have 4 naturally-learning children and live on Feral Farm in Sth East NSW.
