Amidst Madison's snowy backdrop, the episode dives into the ongoing healthcare debate, criticizing Republican opposition to ACA subsidies as costs surge and red states remain reliant on them. The show also takes a nostalgic detour into the decline of craft breweries, lamenting the closure of iconic names like Rogue Ales. The hosts banter about local events, give away tickets, and poke fun at the irony of government efficiency cuts. With health savings accounts and cross-state insurance sales debunked, listeners are urged to support local breweries and question the politics of healthcare.
