In this episode our hosts sit down with Tennessee State Senator Shane Reeves, a pharmacist-turned-legislator, to discuss his journey from pharmacy to public office. Senator Reeves shares his firsthand insights into the obstacles pharmacists face in patient care and policy, the role of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), and why transparency in health care pricing is crucial for patients. He also breaks down his legislative efforts to support independent pharmacies, improve medication adherence, and advocate for patient-first policies. Tune in for an engaging conversation on the intersection of health care and policy, and why patients should build strong relationships with their pharmacists. Among the highlights in this episode: 01:14: Sen. Reeves shares how his father’s role as both a pharmacist and public servant inspired his own path into politics 02:07: Sen.

Reeves discuss how PBMs evolved from cost controllers to powerful entities influencing patient care decisions 05:34: Sen. Reeves describes his legislative efforts to prevent “patient steering,” ensuring prescriptions are filled at the provider or patient’s preferred pharmacy 07:18: Sen.

There's no rule against legislating in the budget.  It's a practice that I don't care for but sometimes it's necessary if you have exhausted all other options.  On Friday, the Redocats threw a fit about it--even though they're the experts in the practice.

It's common knowledge that "you can't (or shouldn't) legislate morality," but in reality, this is a common misunderstanding. Morality is all that you should legislate. The only question is whose morality will be legislated. It would be religious discrimination and anti-democratic to exclude the voices of Christians simply because they are religious. When we vote, our vote should be based on policy rather than personality, race, sex, etc. And since law is a moral enterprise on its face, who and what we vote for is morally significant. We should be voting in ways that best fulfill God's purpose for government (justice), and that means moral issues ought to take precedent over all other political issues. Web: ThinkingtoBelieve.comEmail: ThinkingToBelieve@gmail.comFacebook: facebook.com/thinkingtobelieveTwitter & Gettr: @thinking2believTruth: @ThinkingToBelieve

In our eleventh meeting on Plato's longest and final dialogue, we set aside Book VIII and moved from Book VII to read selections from Book IX. In Book IX, the Athenian, Clinias from Crete, and Megillus from Sparta address the practical questions of administering justice for those in Crete's new colony who might commit evil acts. On June 23, members of the Toronto, Calgary, and Chicago Philosophy Meetup groups contributed thoughts to the approaches suggested by the Athenian, the first being that the laws should have preambles to persuade with reason those who might consider unjust acts. The analogy of a doctor having greater success treating a patient not just by prescription but also with education drew comments, as did the Athenian's conclusion that in certain cases the death penalty is warranted. The Athenian's philosophy that no one acts unjustly except against his will - that no one willingly does injustice - was another focus of the discussion. We began our series on the Laws with Book X, which presents Reason as central to the universe and the first cause of all physical things, and in Book IX the Athenian demonstrates the application of reason in confronting injustice.

In late June, Tajikistan passed a law on "alien clothing" that bans certain types of Islamic attire, particularly from Arab countries, and some types of Western clothing. Wardrobe violators run the risk of stiff financial penalties. Similar fashion mandates exist throughout Central Asia, focused more on women than men. Joining host Bruce Pannier to discuss clothing rules in Central Asia and who is affected by these directives are guests Svetlana Dzardanova, human rights researcher at Freedom for Eurasia, who is based in Kyrgyzstan; and Niginakhon Saida, a researcher, educator, and freelance journalist from Uzbekistan specializing in Islam, education, and gender issues in Central Asia.

“Legislative Reconciliation is Governments using legislative powers for good and not bad. The Indian Act, you might say, was the government using its powers for bad, for a very long time.” -Prof. MetallicProfessor Naiomi Metallic, divides her time between practice and teaching at Dalhousie University's Schulich School of Law where she holds the Chancellor's Chair in Aboriginal Law and Policy. She was part of the legal team that intervened on behalf of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society led by Cindy Blackstock, a longtime advocate for child welfare and Indigenous children's rights. The SCC referenced Prof. Metallic's article, Aboriginal Rights, Legislative Reconciliation and Constitutionalism (dal.ca) , in their Reference re An Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, youth and families, and she is this year's winner of the CBA's Ramon John Hnatyshyn Award for Law.Also mentioned in this episode: Supreme Court of Canada - SCC Case Information - Summary - 40619 (scc-csc.ca)Judicial Workbook on Bill C-92 — An Act Respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis Children, Youth and Families (dal.ca)Supreme Court of Canada - SCC Case Information - Parties - 39856 (scc-csc.ca)Braiding Legal Orders | McGill-Queen's University Press (mqup.ca)We highly recommend The Path: Canadian Bar Association - Understanding the Truth and Engaging in Reconciliation (cba.org)Reach out to us anytime at podcasts@cba.org

In our series on Plato's longest and last dialogue, The Laws, on June 9, 2024 members of the Toronto, Calgary, and Chicago Philosophy Meetup groups turned to Book VII. There, the three characters – the Athenian, Clinias from Crete, and Megillus from Sparta – discuss the raising of children in Crete's new colony, Magnesia. They begin by exploring the harmony of the colony's laws with the customs and habits of its citizens, then they discuss the instruction of children. The Athenian ends by explaining that appreciating the relationships of numbers and shapes can deliver understanding of our individual limitations and collective potential in the universe. Some intriguing ideas emerge with respect to motion: that a harmony of the immaterial soul and material body in the motions of dance and song dispel the disharmony of fear, that the gods love us as a child loves playing with its toys, that idleness leads to corruption, and that there is fundamental incommensurability in the motions of the universe centred on Reason, whose role is to moderate the frequent conflicts between needs and pleasures.

Currently, all sports betting in Texas is illegal, despite the fact that many people believe there is a gray area around app-based betting. In reality, Texas does not yet allow for sports betting, but potential legislation might legalize this type of gambling and change the state's approach to this issue. Rocky Dhir talks with presenters Kevin Vela and Blake Hart to learn more about what regulations currently exist and what may change in the near future.

Yep. Our first politician. And she's on our side. Senator Ellman got Bill SB3501, The Outdoor Lighting Control Act, passed in both houses in Illinois. Senator Ellman will admit she didn't get everything she wanted in it, but as she says, this is just one step on the path (this IS politics after all). We were impressed with her humility, honesty, and down to earth approach - politician or not. NOTE: There were some video and audio issues with Senator Ellman, but we deemed them not bad enough and the content too good not to release the episode. State Senator Laura Ellman was first elected to serve in the Illinois General Assembly in November of 2018 and re-elected in 2022. Senate District 21 includes parts of Bolingbrook, Downers Grove, Glen Ellyn, Lisle, Lombard, Naperville, Wheaton and Warrenville. Senator Ellman currently serves on a number of committees, including Agriculture; Appropriations, Chairperson of Environment and Conservation; Vice-Chairperson of Financial Institutions; Transportation and Veterans Affairs. Senator Ellman was the first child to attend college in both her parents' families. After graduating from Grinnell College with a degree in mathematics, she earned a masters' degree in applied statistics at the University of Iowa. Professionally, she has more than 25 years of experience working in manufacturing and engineering and dealing with regulations and policies. Senator Ellman currently lives in Naperville with her husband Pete, a musician and small business owner, and they are proud parents of two adult children.

Do you agree with a law barring employees from contacting workers after hours? We open the show with that conversation and nominations for the greatest frauds in Minnesota history before a very direct conversation with Congressman Dean Phillips on several political topics.

How effective is the current congress at passing legislation and doing their job for the American people? Congress is passing less legislation and pulling each other further and further to the ends of the political spectrum to achieve their goals. And the result isn't good, not for those working in Congress and for the American people. What can be done about this? Nick Robertson from The Hill joins the show.

E111: The Expanding Access to Capital Act of 2023 (HB2799) is recently passed US House of Representative legislation that would substantially change how startup investing works in the US. It would change the basic definition of an accredited investor, change how both small and large startup funds operate and lower regulatory burdens. The stated goal is to increase available capital for startups while lowering the barriers to entry for small investors so as to democratize startup investing. Startup investing is mostly the domain of wealthy accredited investors while non-accredited investors can only participate via crowdfunding at much higher investor cost. Co-hosts David & Paul discuss this legislation, the many effects that might be expected and the potential for passage into law. We think it will be modified in the Senate to address some peripheral Democratic political concerns around gig labor and investor risk but don't see these a deal breakers. However, the upcoming 2024 election cycle is likely to delay a deal until after the election.  For some context, on December 21, 2011, the SEC adopted amendments to the definition of accredited investors, requiring that the value of a person's primary residence be excluded when determining whether the person qualifies as an “accredited investor” based on having a net worth in excess of $1 million.

On this week's program, we bring you a vital community conversation about Legislating Gender. On March 7th, the University of Louisville presented its 2024 Minx Auerbach Lecture featuring Paisley Currah, Professor of Women's & Gender Studies and Political Science at the City University of New York (CUNY), and author of the book, "Sex is as Sex Does: Governing Transgender Identity." The legislative assault on transgender people in the United States seems new, but governments have been regulating the lives of transgender people for decades. Outside of trans communities, few were aware of the Kafkaesque web of regulations that trans people find themselves in. Now that policing of the gender binary has been transformed from an unremarkable aspect of bureaucratic policymaking to a weapon in the culture wars, everyone is paying attention. In this talk, Paisley Currah will explore the connections between contemporary conflicts over trans issues and the history and persistence of gender and racial hierarchies in American society. Truth to Power brings you conversations you won't hear anywhere else on the airwaves. The program airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 7pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at http://forwardradio.org

In the aftermath of a harrowing school shooting at Oxford High School in Michigan, the nation finds itself grappling with a profound question: How far does parental responsibility extend? This question gained tangible form as Jennifer Crumbley, the mother of the shooter Ethan Crumbley, faced the judiciary, resulting in a conviction of involuntary manslaughter. The verdict signals a monumental shift in the legal landscape, prompting a nationwide introspection on the role of parents in averting such tragedies. Tony Brueski, the host of "Hidden Killers," sat down with psychologist John Delatorre to dissect the implications of this pivotal case. "The repercussions of this verdict are going to be very far-reaching," Brueski remarked, setting the stage for a discussion that ventures deep into the nuances of parental influence and societal expectations. Delatorre's reaction to the verdict was one of unsurprised acceptance. "I'm not surprised," he stated, articulating a sentiment that many parents might find alarming. The verdict suggests a new legal and moral precedent: parents cannot afford ambivalence in their child-rearing practices. Delatorre elaborated on the jury's perception, suggesting that Jennifer Crumbley's moments of parental disengagement—when she prioritized her needs over Ethan's—played a crucial role in her conviction. This, Delatorre argues, underscores a stark message: "You have to always be the parent." The conversation then turned to the broader societal implications of the case. Brueski and Delatorre pondered the practical challenges many parents face, especially those constrained by economic hardships and systemic barriers to accessing mental health resources for their children. Delatorre emphasized the systemic racism and oppression that further complicate these challenges, highlighting the disparities in resource allocation and access to care. Delatorre proposed that the solution lies not solely in individual action but in collective advocacy for better resources and policy changes. He stressed the importance of engaging with schools and community mental health agencies and using the power of the vote to effect change at the governmental level. Yet, he acknowledged the immediacy of the problem for parents dealing with crises here and now, suggesting that hospital intervention could be a last resort for immediate issues, albeit with its own set of complications. The discussion underscored the notion that crises often stem from a lack of preparedness. Delatorre advocated for a proactive approach to parenting and mental health, urging parents to think ahead and secure resources before crises arise. He argued that explaining the realities of economic hardship to children in developmentally appropriate ways could foster understanding and strengthen familial bonds, potentially mitigating the risk of tragic outcomes. Yet, as Brueski pointed out, not all parents possess the awareness or ability to navigate these complex conversations with their children. The debate thus circled back to the essence of the Crumbley verdict's message: the imperative for constant parental involvement and the societal obligation to provide the necessary supports for parents to fulfill this role effectively. As the article draws to a close, it leaves readers with a pivotal question to ponder: In a world where systemic barriers and personal hardships collide, how can society better equip parents to prevent tragedies like the Oxford High School shooting? The Crumbley case may set a legal precedent, but it also opens a broader dialogue on the need for a more supportive and proactive approach to mental health and parenting in America.

DAY 355 CHALLENGE “People shouldn't legislate their religious views. We live in a democracy, and not everybody has the same religion.” DEFENSE This challenge is problematic on several grounds. First, it assumes people in a democracy shouldn't vote according to their beliefs. This is false. Democracies exist precisely to allow people to express their will regarding how society should be governed. Saying that they should not vote their will simply because it is informed by their religious views and others disagree with those views, is contrary to the fundamental enterprise of democracy…
