Health Freedom-Health Privacy-Twila Brase-Bob Davis Podcast 777

These days facts about medical care and insurance are hard to come by. What we don’t know about our privacy and the real costs of ‘national’ health care plans is scary. Twila Braise joins us in Health Freedom-Health Privacy-Twila Brase-Bob Davis Podcast 777.

Big Brother In The Exam Room

Twila Brase is the president of the Citizens Council On Health Freedom. Moreover she is the author of a great resource I have been advertising on the podcasts. And, we have done quite a few interviews over the years. Her new book, Big Brother in The Exam Room details the truth about our privacy in the doctor’s office.

Are Republicans or Democrats Better For Your Heath Privacy?

Just a week after the midterms is a great time to talk to Twila about the legislative agenda ahead for health issues. Especially relevant is whether a democrat controlled congress might be a better friend to privacy advocates than a republican controlled congress.

Letter To Trump On Medicare

In addition, Brase just wrote a letter to President Trump suggesting that he take action on the issue of medicare. Did you know that when they reach 65 senior citizens have to sign up for Medicare, paid for with part of their social security benefit? This is a rule put in place by the Clinton administration that can be rescinded by executive order.

Health Insurance Lobby Controls Politicians

Finally in my view, it is significant that health insurance lobbyists often control republican politicians. It is republicans who often vote against free market initiatives in health insurance. Twila explains in this podcast.

Feasting On Taxpayer Dollars

While people condemn companies like Amazon and FaceBook for making ‘too much money’ it is the health insurers feasting on tax payer dollars. What can be done about this? Twila tells us.

Divided Government Means You Are Safe. For Now.

In conclusion Twila suggests the good news is a divided government probably won’t do anymore damage in the short term. However Brase is always a great source for information about what she calls Medical Insurance and Medical Care.

Real Time 2018 Election Results-Live-Bob Davis Podcast 774

These days election results in real time without BS is a tall order. Experience the results in real time with me in Real Time 2018 Election Results-Live-Bob Davis Podcast 774.

Working America Into A Froth

It’s especially relevant how the media and politicians managed to work most of America into a froth for this election. Democrats regained control of the House of Representatives. Republicans did better than predicted in the Senate. The GOP also managed to surprise in a couple of governor’s races.

How Predictions Stack Up To Results

It’s Most noteworthy how results stacked up to the predictions. I see it this way. Democrats managed to cobble together a few pick ups in house races here and there into a majority. Republicans could have prevented some of these losses. What happened? How could the GOP manage to increase it’s majority in the senate but lose it in the house?

Minnesota Republicans Got The 8th District As Consolation Prize

Moreover for my Minnesota subscribers and listeners, there were major losses for incumbent republicans in the 2nd and 3rd House districts, all the statewide races and the state legislature. The consolation was one of the few republican pick ups in the House is Minnesota’s 8th district.

Blue Wave?

Was it a blue wave? My analysis says no. Democrats won some hard fought victories in key house races to control the house but they failed to win key governor’s races and lost ground in the Senate. More details in Real Time 2018 Election Results-Live-Bob Davis Podcast 774.

Some Outcomes Still Out

I am still waiting on the outcome of key races. Just learning the Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has lost his bid for a third term, and waiting for some House races, Senate bids in Arizona and Montana. In coming days there will be plenty of post analysis, celebration and blame to go around.

Hard Drives Humming and Pizza

In conclusion there’s still something about a quiet night at the Broadcast Bunker. Results came from the Internet. The hum of hard drives and processors kept me company.

(Editor’s Note: A late development Monday in Minnesota. Republicans can add another pick up with Jim Hagedorn’s victory in Southern Minnesota’s 1st District. Minnesota republicans managed to lose all the statewide races and the state House of Representatives, making victories in the 8th and 1st even more bittersweet.)

And we had pizza
