Episode Details

Your Heard Tell Show for Tuesday, July the 12th is turning down the noise and getting to the information we need on the latest in Sri Lanka where no food, no fuel, and little hope has the population rising up, the failed leadership on the run, and world powers fighting over who gets to intervene. A piece on how freedom of the press and freedom of religion is the keey to social stability and avoiding state fragility has great points to ponder on the universal struggle for freedom in the age of disinformation. Our guest today is Elise Amez-Droz who brings her experience with health care policy to talk about the looming insolvency of the Hospital Insureance Trust Fund, the funding mechanism for Medicare Part A, and how the date of that failure keeps moving closure with current events. Elise explains what got us to this point, why no one seems willing to talk about or do anything to avert the crisis, and what it means for the country if the "trust fund" fails. Also, the ship that inspired the classic movie The Goonies might not only be real, but is possibly washing up on shore in Oregon in pieces, including in sea side caves just like the film, we'll revisit the childhood classic, and a woman who lost a diamond ring gets lucky when a first responder water crew nearby decides to make her crisis a training opportunity. All than and more on this Monday Edition of Heard Tell.
