Original description: Bea and Jules mark the 33rd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) with a discussion of just how limited the law is compared with how it's portrayed, how to understand the ADA as part of the broader story of welfare state retrenchment in the 1980s and 1990s, and the broader story of how it got this way.

Bea, Artie, and Phil offer their critique of "We've Got You Covered: Rebooting American Health Care", a recent book from two economists—and blurbed by the likes of Emily Oster and Matt Yglesias—that promises a bold new vision for US health policy: what if we did universal healthcare, but we intentionally made it really bad?

Bea, Artie and Phil discuss why the fact that a record 20 million people are now on ACA (Obamacare) plans is not the unequivocal good news that Democrats are portraying it as, how to understand those numbers in the context of the ongoing Medicaid unwinding, and why it’s long past time to move beyond the ACA.

Beatrice, Artie and Abby discuss the recent resurgence of debates over social distancing guidance in 2020 and 2021 brought on by former NIH Director Anthony Fauci’s comment to Congress that six feet of social distancing “sort of just appeared” and “wasn’t based on data.” We talk through why these recent statements aren’t quite the gotcha they’ve been made out to be and how the arguments that have followed have omitted significant context around the debates over social distancing earlier in the pandemic, instead portraying covid protections as a mistake that came at “enormous cost.”

Beatrice and Jules discuss “managed care,” a seemingly innocuous term for a guiding principle in contemporary US healthcare that structures and incentivizes medical rationing and austerity. We also discuss how the use of managed care in state Medicaid programs leads to widespread denials for trans care.

Death Panel 456 Re-Air Abolish Managed Care

Abolish Managed Care

Will be part of upcoming album that might be called "Illbum". As in "ill" + "album". It's also a double entendre as in an "ill bum". 

I'm toying with the whole "musician is a bum" stereotype touted by conservatives.

The title of the actual track is a portmanteau as well. The words "sick" and "Capitalism" stuck together. The German spelling of Capital is "Kapital" (like in "Das Kapital") so it works well.

WIP means "work in progress".

Sickapitalism (WIP)

Beatrice, Artie and Jules discuss the political economy of the pandemic and how organizing around covid and long covid intersects with priorities in movements across the left, including labor struggles and economic justice, disability justice, and abolition.

Transcript forthcoming.

This episode was recorded live at the 2024 Socialism Conference in Chicago. We collaborated with conference organizers to host five discussions there over labor day weekend.
