Podcast appearances and mentions of graham cassidy

Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss the issues involving mail-in ballots. It is estimated 22% of mail-in ballots never get counted for some reason. Furthermore, for those that are counted, there is no way to verify returned ballots for those who are actually dead, for those that have has signatures faked, and for those who no longer live in the State. This is essentially a huge fraud machine!Comparing the Townhalls for Donald Trump on NBC and for Joe Biden on ABC proved to they were neither fair nor balanced. The interviewers’ political bias showed.Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, believe it is not appropriate to take advantage of your family members when it comes to caring for your own children. It is quite fine for Grandparents to keep their grandchildren when they want to and when it does not interfere with other things they would be doing. It is quite different if you are using grandparents as a substitute for having to pay for daycare. You should always offer to pay or to do something special in return.Senator Bill Cassidy joins Stephen Parr and Louis Avallone on the phone. He says the Supreme Court Nominee Amy Coney Barrett clearly knows more about the law than anyone in the room in the Senate Hearings this week. Furthermore, has found her to be very impressive in many ways. When it comes to the Republican plan to replace Obamacare, Senator Cassidy is one of the primary authors for that Graham-Cassidy proposed bill. He points out that Republicans are trying to empower Americans regarding their healthcare, while protecting pre-existing conditions; however, the Democrats want to completely deny Americans any personal healthcare options. They want to put everyone into the Medicare program which is going to be broke in about 4 years already.

For the past year, Sen. Bill Cassidy has played a pivotal role in Republicans’ health care strategy. The doctor-turned-lawmaker helped craft the Graham-Cassidy proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act, sparking outrage from public health groups (and a certain talk show host) who warned that the legislation would lead to millions more people being uninsured. Now Cassidy’s out with a new package of ideas that the Louisiana Republican argues will “make health care affordable again.” The wide-ranging blueprint includes pushing price transparency, studying racial disparities and resurrecting the stalled bill to prop up the Affordable Care Act’s individual insurance market. Cassidy joined POLITICO’s Dan Diamond to discuss the reception to his new proposals (starts at the 1:40 mark), why he wants more Americans to use health savings accounts (3:30), why Cassidy is betting big on price transparency (5:30), the fight over the ACA’s high premiums and Democrats’ concerns about short-term health plans (10:30), his criticism of monopolies in health care (16:45), why Cassidy wants HHS to investigate social determinants of health (19:45) and how he’s blasting a “rigged” health system (21:45). After the break, Cassidy discussed whether there should be another ACA repeal vote this year (25:40), what he and the GOP learned from last year’s health care fights (27:45) and his feud with Jimmy Kimmel and public health groups (31:00). Then in the recurring “Steal My Job” segment, Cassidy discussed his decision to leave medicine to get into politics and who’s influenced his thinking about health care (36:20).

Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum joined us a couple of times over the past two weeks to explain his plan to fix America's ailing healthcare system. His plan is very similar to the Graham-Cassidy bill that Santorum helped to create. Dr. Steve Klasko, president and CEO of Jefferson Health and Thomas Jefferson University, explains the flaws he sees in Santorum's plan and prescribes a solution to help fix our current system. Rick and guest co-host Ed Morrissey also speak to John Tamny, political economy editor at Forbes and editor of RealClearMarkets.com, about his new book “The End of Work: Why Your Passion Can Become Your Job”.

Health care policy has been all over the news in 2017. Throughout the spring, summer, and fall of this year, repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act has been a major focus for President Trump and some members of the U.S. House and Senate. In this episode, Dr. Norman Retener explains current events in health care policy (think AHCA, BCRA, skinny repeal, and Graham-Cassidy) in a way that's clear, understandable, and applicable to all of us as we care for patients. As usual, this conversation between Dr. Retener and Dr. Frayha reflects only their views and does not represent the School of Medicine or the University of Maryland at large. 

Twila Brase, President of the Citizens' Council for Health Freedom, returns to the Doctor's Lounge with an array of topics & breaking news to tackle. Front and center will be analysis of the demise of the Graham-Cassidy legislative attempt to move ObamaCare funding to the States in the form of block grants.

The gals talk books... and eventually Graham-Cassidy, the Alabama Senate race, NFL protests, and Puerto Rico. Recorded September 27, 2017. Intro/Outro: Tegan & Sara, ft. The Lonely Island - "Everything is Awesome"

New England communities prepare for an influx of hurricane refugees from Puerto Rico, and worry about family back home. We’ll learn what Germany can teach us about welcoming immigrants, and we’ll tour an old Hartford factory that’s preparing for a new life as a food and jobs hub for a struggling neighborhood. Plus, the craft beer industry is exploding in New England, but another time-honored trade is in danger of disappearing. A scene from the Swift Factory, which manufactured gold leaf in Hartford from 1895 to 2005. The nonprofit that owns the building hopes to house food operations, a health center, and more. Photo by Ryan Caron King for NEXT. In the News: Hurricane Survivors, Healthcare Laws, Racism There are over 600,000 Puerto Ricans living in New England, and many are struggling to get ahold of loved ones there after the devastation left by Hurricane Maria. WNPR’s Ryan Caron King spoke with one Hartford, Connecticut resident. In the city of Holyoke, Massachusetts, 80 percent of public school students are of Puerto Rican descent. As people try to flee the island, the district is expecting an influx of new students, as Jill Kaufman reports. We'd love to hear from you if you're still trying to reach loved ones or get help to Puerto Rico.

Bukaty for Maine Public Maine Senator Susan Collins announced earlier this week that she would vote against the Graham-Cassidy healthcare bill, killing the latest Republican attempt to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. It's not the first time she has broken with leaders in the GOP, and it's a reminder that the independently-minded “Yankee Republican” isn't extinct. But who is Collins, and how is she regarded back home? Our guest Steve Mistler is the Chief Political Correspondent for Maine Public Radio, and a close Collins-watcher. Residents of Claremont, Nh. gathered earlier this month for a vigil following news of an alleged lynching-style attack of a young biracial boy in town. Photo by Britta Greene for NHPR Claremont, New Hampshire is still reeling from an incident involving a young biracial boy and a group of teenagers. The victim's family says it's an open-and-shut case of racism: an attempted lynching. Parents of a teenager involved in the incident say that's not what happened. They say the kids were playing with a rope and climbing trees when things went wrong. As Britta Greene reports, The incident has divided the community. Turning Over a New Leaf Many New England cities used to be manufacturing hubs. Workers lived near where they worked, and supported the other businesses that sprung up around them. Today, old factories are puzzles to solve. Some retain a bit of small manufacturing — others are converted into high-end lofts, artists' studios, and even world-class art museums, like MassMoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts. The building that housed the Swift Factory is tucked into a residential section of Hartford's Northeast neighborhood. Gold leaf. Photo via Pixabay Gold leaf, a thin, paper-like gold product, was manufactured there for over 100 years. Leaf produced at Swift adorned the dome atop the Connecticut capitol building, and decorated the lettering on the sides of local fire trucks. The company was owned by a white family, the Swifts. And the neighborhood, which had mostly white immigrant residents early in the 1900s, gradually became African-American and West Indian. It still is today. The Swift Factory closed in 2005. A nonprofit called Community Solutions took ownership in 2010, and surveyed the neighborhood to figure out what to do with the site. Sometimes, a factory renovation can be an early sign of gentrification. But the plans for this particular building are a response to the needs and desires of the people already living here, representatives say. On a factory tour this summer, we learned about what’s to come. We also got a sense of what factory life was like from a woman who experienced it firsthand. How Does Germany Handle Refugees? Instructor Irene Sperfeld writes out German vocabulary during a course for language learners at Evangelische Hochschule Dresden. In Germany, language classes for newcomers are paid for by the state. Photo by Cassandra Bassler for NENC Germany's leader Angela Merkel has been spending tax dollars to house and educate more than 1 million asylum-seekers from places like Syria and Iraq. And that's made a lot of Germans unhappy: a far-right, anti-immigrant party fared better than expected in this past week's election. Cassandra Basler from member station WSHU has been covering immigration to New England for our Facing Change project, and recently traveled to Germany to look at the challenges facing immigrants and the places that host them. Of Beer and Clocks Selection of beers on tap at Grey Sail Brewing, Westerly, RI. Photo by Tom Verde for NENC. It's Octoberfest time, and the craft beer industry in New England has plenty to raise a glass to. Craft beer is growing faster here than anywhere in the country. But is growing too fast? Is it possible to have too much craft beer? Tom Verde went to find out. In the mid-1800s, New England was a global center for the clockmaking industry. Today, the region is filled with antique, often centuries-old clocks — in church steeples, libraries, courthouses, and homes. Master clockmaker James Roberts examines a churchtower clock in Redding, Mass. The timepiece in the center connects to four transparent glass dials, one on each wall. View of the clocktower room from above. Photo by Dan Richards for NEXT. David Roberts with a clock face and dial that he and his brother James restored. Photo by Dan Richards for NEXT. That industry, of course, is long gone. And slowly, the people who preserve its artifacts are disappearing, too. Dan Richards has the story. About NEXT NEXT is produced at WNPR.

Today's episode hits on some timely news stories, including Trump's latest kerfuffle with the NFL. In the pre-show, we talk a little bit about the Graham-Cassidy Bill, which is hopefully defunct by the time you hear this.  But can Trump save it via Executive Order?  (No.) Then, we return for a lengthy "Andrews Were Wrong!" segment in which we issue a correction from Episode 107, explain the difference between Ronnie Lott and Leon Lett, and also tackle friend of the show Andrew Seidel's recent article regarding whether churches will likely receive FEMA relief in the wake of the Trinity Lutheran decision. In the main segment, Andrew looks at the Supreme Court's recent order in Tharpe v. Warden and explains the significance in light of our prior discussion of jury deliberations. Before you listen to "Yodel Mountain," you'll want to go back and listen to Episode 57 and Episode 58, in which we go into detail on Donald Trump's rocky relationship with the NFL.  Then, we answer whether Donald Trump violated federal law by threatening NFL players who refuse to stand for the national anthem & some other questions.    You'll find out which senators oppose "State-Sponsored Patriotism" and the answer WILL surprise you! Finally, we end with a new Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #43 about whether a "Letter of Intent" is binding in a business sale.  (Oooh, right in Andrew's professional wheelhouse!)  Remember that you can play along with #TTTBE by retweeting our episode Tweet along with your guess.  We'll release the answer on next Tuesday's episode along with our favorite entry! Recent Appearances After being bombarded by 10,000 Twitter trolls, the guys are going to lay low for a little bit. Show Notes & Links We discussed the first GOP effort to repeal the AHCA back in Episode 80, and you can read about the changes to that bill (largely, to the slush fund) in this Bloomberg article. This CNN report suggested that Trump would "do an Executive Order" when Graham-Cassidy fails. If you want to read the trial court's ruling on ineffective assistance of counsel in the Syed case, you can do so. We first discussed whether churches will receive FEMA funds for disaster relief in Episode 102; Andrew Seidel respectfully disagreed with that conclusion in a recent article; we continue to think he's too optimistic in light of the Trinity Lutheran decision. We discussed Pena-Rodriguez v. Colorado as a "landmark case" way back in Episode 56. You can read the Supreme Court's order staying execution in Tharpe v. Warden, as well as the District Court's opinion denying reopening of Tharpe's habeas petition. We're really proud of the episodes we did on the USFL v. NFL lawsuit back in Episode 57 and Episode 58, in which we go into detail as to exactly why Trump hates the NFL (and so much more)! The relevant statute at issue with Trump threatening the NFL is 18 U.S.C. § 227. That "LawNewz" article we referenced is here; read at your own risk! Finally, we definitely recommend reading the McCain-Flake report on "paid patriotism."

Buckner, Vice Presidents of Congressional Affairs John Greene and Chris Hartmann, and host Director of Policy Engagement Dan Samson help answer the many questions raised by the defeat of the Graham-Cassidy proposal, including: Where do we go from here?

The future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is unclear. Republicans have decided not to vote this week on the Graham-Cassidy bill, but promised to revisit ACA repeal-and-replace efforts. Democrats announced recently a single-payer health care proposal. And another hurdle for the ACA looms. With open enrollment beginning on November 1, questions remain about the stability of the ACA insurance exchange marketplace, particularly around the fate of cost-sharing subsidies and other factors that affect enrollment, affordability and access to varied plans. This Forum brought together health and public policy experts from across diverse perspectives to look at what's next for the Affordable Care Act. What can Americans expect and where does health care reform go from here? This Forum event was presented jointly with Reuters on September 27, 2017. Watch the entire series at ForumHSPH.org.

The Graham Cassidy bill failed. Is it over? No. The emotional forces behind driving the Repeal and Pretend to Replace movement are too strong.

A bit of What's News for now

In this the 38th episode of The Law Is My Ass, Sid and Joe interview podcast-regular and benefits expert Eric Schillinger about the Graham-Cassidy bill that the Senate is considering RIGHT NOW as it's likely last effort to repeal Obamacare in this fiscal year. What does it mean, and how would it affect you? Listen and find out! And as if that weren't enough, we tackle the following pressing legal questions: Is there another way to look at the Second Amendment? (Hint: yes) Do Californian's have to stop force feeding their geese again? (Hint: yes, but abusing chickens, cattle and pigs is still allowed) Is Equifax in deep doo-doo? (Hint: you know the answer) Is Wells-Fargo trying to pull a fast one? (Hint: guess) Is Taylor Swift going down for copyright infringement? (Hint: Joe votes no, Sid votes yes, and Eric abstains) Can Jeff Sessions punish cities that don't want immigration officers storming into their jails? (Hint: courts say "no"!) What web giant has the funniest in-house IP attorneys? (Hint: starts with N, ends with x, and has an "etfli" in the middle) All that and more in this week's shorter-than-usual episode of The Law Is My Ass. Tune in, and keep it legal!  

The bipartisan push for health reform came to a crashing halt this week after attention shifted toward the Graham-Cassidy proposal to repeal and replace the ACA. NAHU has many significant concerns about this proposal and what it could mean for the future of employer-sponsored insurance and the role of agents and brokers.

The Senate could vote on Graham-Cassidy, the latest attempt to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Kimberly Leonard is the Senior Health Care Policy Reporter for the Washington Examiner. She joined Dan and Amy to handicap the bills chances of success. Faisal Khan the CEO of Project Six joined Dan and Amy to talk about their new report on government transparency. Plus, news reports this week have suggested that former Trump campaign head honcho Paul Manafort could soon be indicted. What does all of this mean for the Russia investigation? Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andrew McCarthy joined Dan and Amy with reactionSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we'll talk with Linda Barrick, author of “Beauty Marks: Healing Your Wounded Heart” (David C Cook) and we'll talk with Marie Fishpaw, Director of Domestic Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation's Institute for Family, Community, and Opportunity about the Graham Cassidy health care bill.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tonight Curtis talks with Christopher Hahn and Phil Hotsenpiller.

After several unsuccessful attempts this year, Republicans have one last chance to deliver on their seven-year old promise to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Legislation recently introduced by Senators Lindsey Graham, Bill Cassidy, Dean Heller and Ron Johnson eliminates some of ObamaCare's most unpopular provisions and enacts reforms that will help to lower costs, expand choices, promote federal fiscal responsibility, and put power back in the hands of states and consumers. The Graham-Cassidy bill's biggest strength is its adherence to the idea that states are uniquely equipped to design and implement the health care reforms that best suit their residents. It collapses the Obamacare federal funding into a single block grant, which states can use for a wide variety of health reforms.Graham-Cassidy is not a perfect proposal. But Republicans no longer have the luxury of waiting for perfect. The legislation before them is the most thoughtful and conservative health reform plan they have encountered in their years-long effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Now, they must act quickly to pass it and finally get the job done.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Graham-Cassidy has a serious chance at becoming law, Tom Price took private flights and more in today's Audio Briefing.

In this week's episode of Electric Libertyland, host Brian McWilliams gives his take on the Trumpian circle-jerk that was the 2017 Emmy Awards, and how politics and entertainment need to take a break from each other. He then turns towards more serious topics including the utter failure of the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing programs, the GOP's last-ditch effort to repeal Obamacare (kind of) with the Graham-Cassidy plan, the state of the 1st Amendment, new climate research and an idiotic idea in the UK to limit voting rights based on internet trolling.
