Part 1:
We talk with Mary Ziegler, Law Professor at Cal State Davis, and reproductive law expert.
We discuss AG (Tx) Ken Paxton's suit regarding prescription drugs furnished by a New York physician to a Texas woman to provide abortion. New York has a shield law to prevent this. It appears that Paxton believes that Texas laws against abortion should be enforced by New York. This is also a furtherance of the "personhood" of a zygote or fetus argument.
Part 2:
We talk with Bill Curry and Robert Hennelly.
We discuss New York's push to force about 250,000 retired NY civil service workers to use United Health Care instead of the contracted health insurance as was bargained for by the unions that represent these former workers. A court issued a "promissory estoppel" to prevent this.
We discuss how the United Health Care and other insurance companies plans that promise to replace and improve on Medicare are much inferior.
We also discuss how the Democratic Party needs to restructure itself to be more responsive to voters' needs.
