And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith #AATWD In This Episode: In this thought-provoking episode of And Another Thing With Dave, host Dave and guest host Boston Nick Barry engage in a dynamic discussion on political corruption, media narratives, and systemic issues in American politics. The conversation begins with a deep dive into evaluating President Biden's financial activities, highlighting his use of shell companies and raising questions about political transparency. The hosts contrast these findings with broader critiques of both major political parties and their perceived betrayals of the working class, particularly under past administrations such as Obama's and Clinton's. Nick shares pointed insights on insider trading, focusing on figures like Nancy Pelosi, who have faced scrutiny over lucrative investments. The conversation takes a nuanced turn as the duo addresses public reactions to political corruption and the tendency to deflect criticisms with “whataboutism.” The hosts also touch on healthcare inequities in the U.S., debating the privatized insurance system and discussing potential solutions like universal healthcare. Listeners will appreciate the honest, candid nature of this episode that refuses to shy away from complex and often contentious topics.

Join us on a journey through the intricate landscape of medical philosophy as we explore the dynamic interplay between reductionism and holism. In this thought-provoking podcast, we delve into the contrasting perspectives that shape modern healthcare and challenge traditional notions of disease and wellness.At the heart of our discussion lies the age-old debate between reductionism and holism. While reductionism champions the idea that understanding the smallest components of a system unlocks the secrets of the whole, holism contends that the synergy of interconnected parts yields emergent properties beyond individual comprehension.Through engaging narratives and insightful anecdotes, we unravel the complexities of these philosophical frameworks and their implications for medical practice. From the biomedical reductionism that underpins our understanding of disease to the holistic approaches revolutionizing patient care, we examine the strengths and limitations of each perspective.So, whether you're a healthcare professional seeking to broaden your understanding of medical philosophy or a curious listener intrigued by the complexities of human health, tune in to our podcast as we navigate the intricate terrain of reductionism and holism in healthcare.

Canadians are rightfully proud of our publicly-funded medical care system. Our national self-image is closely associated with the idea that treatment of illness is a social responsibility. In this podcast episode, we make the case that prevention of illness should also be regarded as a social responsibility. Unless we can prioritize illness prevention, it's very likely that our medical care system will continue to be plagued by large patient loads, long wait times, and demoralized doctors and nurses. The evidence makes clear that social determinants are more important for health and wellbeing than spending on medical care. In other words, without access to decent homes, adequate child care, good incomes, and a clean environment our medical care system will never be able to prevent people from dying early. That's why, along with a number of partners, Gen Squeeze has launched the Get Well Canada initiative. Our health care system will "get well" — and we along with it — when we start investing where health begins: the places we live, work, and grow.

See all the Healthcast at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog/ This week's conversation is based on an article which appeared in the New York Times on August 2 of 2019. The article was an essay by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a physician and the provost of the University of Pennsylvania.  Dr. Emanuel watched the first two debates among the Democratic candidates for President. After listening to their discussions regarding proposals for health care changes in America, Dr. Emanuel concluded that they are all going in the wrong direction with their proposals. He now offers a proposal of his own. We intend to share his concerns with you this week and provide Dr. Maupin's response to them. Our goal is to provide information you can use to help make decisions about your own health care and about which candidate, if any, that you might support.  The first topic he discusses is the need to address drug prices. Hospital prices are soaring and must be contained. We need a policy that targets wasteful insurance billing practices. Finally, we need to find a way to switch from fee for service approaches to the provision of medical services to some kind of value-based alternatives.  Dr. Emanuel provides an explanation for each of these proposals he is making. Dr. Maupin responds with a physicians' response. Her first reaction was to the idea of an unfunded mandate by the government in an effort to solve or address any of these approaches. Her concern here is  that when we make governmental decisions that come as unfunded mandates (meaning that Congress does not provide a method for paying for the behavior that now becomes legally required) these mandates impose both labor and cost factors on health care providers that make it virtually impossible for doctors to keep their offices open and to provide various medical procedures that people need in order to live and be healthy. An example of that would be the use of EMR's these systems, called electronic medical records, were required by the federal government as a way to make it easier for people to access their records and share those records with whomever they thought would be appropriate. This was all in the name of privacy and efficiency. Doctors and hospitals around America had to spend millions of dollars on the development and use of these systems. That money had to come out of their practice and none of that money went directly into the provision of medical care for patients directly. This raises the cost for administrative processes and benefits insurance companies and government record keepers but does not benefit your health directly while at the same time negatively impacting the financial health of the practice or hospital. Another problem we look at is that pharmacy benefits managers and insurance companies are in effect practicing medicine without a license when they set limits on the drugs you can get from the insurance company, or their formularies in spite of what your doctor tells you that you need medically. The federal government so far, has not found a way to address that situation. One of the things that Dr. Emanuel suggests would help the medical delivery and health care systems in the United States would be to have the government negotiate with the drug companies to lower the cost of those drugs to people. Right now, Medicare is not allowed because of a congressional law, to negotiate with drug makers for lower or bulk prices. If we were able to do that alone, he says we could save over 53 Billion dollars a year. Dr. Maupin has some suggestions to go along with negotiating for drug prices, including the existence of compounding pharmacies, and she talks about the strategy of the FDA for licensing and regulating drugs and makes some suggestions regarding how that process ought to change. These discussions are frustrating because we feel so powerless to change the system. The vested interests work very hard to stay in power. We do not know that we have the right answer or the best answer, but we believe that we need to try something and that some of these options deserve to be considered and, where possible, tried. We encourage you to be an informed consumer when it comes to your own health care and we encourage you to become more politically active in approaching and supporting candidates that will listen to you and vote for the things you want.

In this episode we listen to important moments stemming from the third democratic debate, held on ABC news. We break down how both the moderators and the politicians influenced the debates, as well as influenced each other. Listen to this episode to learn: The secret behind the Yang Gang's popularity The PR reason that candidates are so keen to say that they love Obama, while simultaneously rejecting his policies. How Elizabeth Warren uses the persuasion technique of value stemming to bypass a moderator's question and go right to the core of the matter More transitional phrases and how Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren are now using the same phrase to divert the audience's attention from the tough questions they are asked How one candidates uses an on/off voice tone in order to hammer in a particular message that their contemporaries might not be willing to accept The technique of moving from large groups to small groups to increase liking, and how individuals are the most likeable of all Universal Quantifiers as they are used on the debate stage - do you know which candidate is most Trump-like in this way? It might not be who you expect... Pete Buttigieg's tough uphill battle against the race and immigration allegations that won't leave him alone and his plan to defeat systemic racism The moment where Kamala Harris is caught off-guard as she is starkly confronted with facts on her record and how she spins it Beto's appeal to religiousity and how he mixes that with his strongly progressive gun rights stances And more!

The 2020 election will be dominated by finance and social issues.  But what is the Governments true role in all of this?  Who and what are the major purveyors of "free" healthcare, is it even feasible? All this and more on today's Civil Discourse 

On this week's episode of "Where Did You Get This Number?", Anthony and Lenny discuss health care, given the topic's appearance in the 2020 democratic presidential debates. What are Democrats thinking about with Medicare-for-all? And what are Republicans' next steps after dismantling Obamacare's individual mandate? How are they thinking about the Democrats' health care messaging to voters?

The latest on Foxconn and the state budget with JR Ross of Wispolitics.com

What the Congress can learn from Leonard Susskind's book "The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics". "Thought Experiments" can produce ideas that clash with deeply held principles. Instead of shunning this, it is the lifeblood of physics as it allows people to discover solutions and answers that they would not have thought about if there was no "clash".

Both parties are celebrating yesterday's House bill to repeal and replace Obamacare. House Republicans are cheering because they were able to pass it. Democrats are happy because they think it's so bad. We look at the details… and the politics. 

Health care debate is partisan and that is stupid, it needs to be on how to fix a broken system but that won’t happen in an election year. President Putin enjoys a 70% approval rating, the reason for this makes perfect sense. And, how my first climb in Russia went for the Seven Summits. The post The John Layfield Show – Health care debate is about the wrong things and why Putin has such a high approval rating and what we can learn from it appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Is it just bravado or is President Obama really as confident as he seems about next week's bipartisan White House summit on healthcare reform? Guest host Lawrence O'Donnell talks about what advantages Republican leaders will have in the unprecedented televised negotiating session. Will it be the President's final meeting on healthcare reform or the beginning of a new bipartisan strategy to pass a bill? Also, Toyota considers another recall, and the judge who changed the face of Little League Baseball.

In 1993 a television ad featuring ”Harry and Louise” -- a ”typical” American couple dismayed by the Clinton administration's universal health care proposal -- helped to kill health care reform in the U.S. for the next decade. With the 2008 presidential election in sight the debate has resurfaced but are the prospects for universal health care any better today? In an ongoing study of health care systems spanning five countries Arnold J. Rosoff Wharton professor of legal studies and business ethics has identified a set of factors that in one combination or another come into play when a country commits to adopting universal health care. This time he says one thing seems likely: Instead of a health care ”revolution” in the U.S. change will come in increments. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
