6-21-17 Nicole Sandler Show – Summertime Healthcare Blues
It's officially the first day of summer, the planet is overheating, and the GOP Senate "Trumpcare" bill might see the light of day tomorrow. I read a Jonathan Cohn piece from Huffington Post on the show to prove that we're being gaslighted by the Republicans over how the Affordable Care Act was written: "The Big Lie Republicans Are Using To Defend Their Secret Health Care Bill". Today, I was happy to welcome author and journalist Helaine Olen to the show to talk about what's wrong with our health care system in the US. We discussed her latest piece for The [...]
1-22-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Government Sanctioned Extortion
Nicole Sandler almost didn't do a show today because of her four-hour long nightmare in dealing with her health insurance company yesterday. Today, she's on a rampage. David Swanson joins in, and Nicole opens the phones for listeners' stories too.

(Randi will return tomorrow) On my show this morning, I spoke with Dr. Margaret Flowers, noted single payer healthcare advocate, spokesperson for Physicians for a National Health Program, who [...]
John Boehner’s Lies
Last night we watched as President Obama tried to explain to the American people (who mostly don’t pay attention) what’s going on with the “debt crisis” – which you and I know is a fake crisis as the real crisis is the lack of jobs. While Obama was busy playing middle of the road politics and making nice with Speaker Boehner (and echoing the right wing talking points about our “out of control spending” as the cause for this “crisis” and the “both parties are to blame” line), Boehner went on the attack blaming it all on President Obama and [...]
Socialism, Health Care Reform and John Fugelsang too!
I'm sick and tired of the Right Wing Nut Jobs who continue to call President Obama and the Democratic Party "Socialists". When I attended David Cobb's Move To Amend speaking tour stop in Ft. Lauderdale recently, I met Marc Luzietti. He ambled up to the microphone to ask a question, and identified himself as being with the Socialist Party of Florida. Of course, I invited him to join me on the show. He'll join me today to tell us what they stand for. (Hint: It looks a lot like what we progressives and liberals wish the Democrats would be, with [...]
