The Daily Signal - #520: How Medicare for All Would Impact Our Lives

Obamacare is old news for the political left. Now, the big item is Medicare for All—a single-payer, government-run health care system. But what kind of impact would that have on Americans’ lives? In this episode, we discuss that and more with the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Seema Verma, who joins us for an exclusive interview. Plus: The New York Times caves to pressure from the left by changing a front page headline, putting President Trump in a more negative light. We’ll discuss.We also cover the following stories:-Gun-control advocates surround Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s home.-Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., strikes bipartisan deal aimed at reducing the threat of mass shootings.-Pentagon says it won’t overreact to North Korea’s renewed missile tests.The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, SoundCloud, Google Play, and Stitcher.

Philosophers In Space - 0G68: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Grief

I'm getting a very Groundhog day "already written these show notes" vibe. I guess they didn't go well last time or something, so hopefully this time around will be better. We're joined by an amazing guest, the award eligible Tom from Cog Dis, to discuss Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a movie we all really enjoyed and had largely forgotten. There's a lot to cover so we space it over two episodes, the first one dealing with grief more broadly and the second one incorporating Nietzsche's take on eternal recurrence. Mostly it's a lot of Tom saying clever things and then Thomas saying "seeee!" and glaring at me.
