If there is one topic in the news these days its the failure of Healthcare.gov. Rather than telling everyone what to think about this new policy, I suggest a longer arc, with some ideas to think about going forward. If there was ever a ‘teachable moment’ for policies that extend the power of the state, this is it. Still, what does it mean? What’s the alternative? How do we go about improving it, repealing it, or positioning against it in future elections. Join me for one of the few podcasts exclusively about the ‘Affordable Care Act’ on this late-night podcast. Sponsored by Baklund LLC; The Problem Solvers. www.baklund.com. (By the way election day is November 5th, not the 7th, as stated in the podcast).

Happy Halloween! And what would Halloween be without a scary Halloween story? If you’ve been listening to the podcasts you know I have been doing some creative writing. In this podcast, I will narrate or read the results of my writing ‘get together’ every Wednesday. Recently we did a writing exercise using random words. I got lucky. I got the words ‘oozing’ and ‘curve’, which turned out to be perfect for Halloween. Plus an update on how to pronounce Nihilist! Sponsored by incrediwearstore.com.
