If you’ve been paying
attention to politics over the past two years or listening to the Republican
presidential candidates, then you’ve probably heard that premiums for some
Affordable Care Act plans went way up last year. However, according to the Obama
administration, the vast majority of people buying coverage through
healthcare.gov, their premiums only went up 4 percent. Which can leave you scratching your head
wondering how can it be possible for both things be true? Well, according to
Jonathan Cohn, Senior National Correspondent for The Huffington Post it is.
Jonathan joins me today on the show to talk all about what’s really going on with Obamacare premiums and what Trump and other Republicans are
failing to mention.
Following the election of President Barack
Obama, many people argued that we were now living in a post-racial society, and
as a result they felt that the best approach toward eradicating racism was to
feign ignorance of it. However according
to teacher and education activist Pamela Lewis in her new book Teaching While Black: A New Voice on Race and Education in New York City that
when it comes to education this is precisely the thing we should not do. She argues that not only should teachers
consider race when educating student, they should use it as the very basis of
their teaching. Pamela joins me today on the show to talk about the many
problems affecting our nation’s teachers and students of color and what can be
done to fix the way we educate our youth in this country and particular in the
inner-cities.
