Airing on Thursday, Feb. 5, 2015: First up, more on the hacking of personal information at Anthem, the second larger health insurance company in America. Plus, new research from the University of Pennsylvania says there’s a growing education gap between the wealthy and the poor. The wealthy are far more likely to complete college. We unpack the causes and implications. We'll also talk about one of the toughest cost-benefit calculations of our daily lives: balancing the "I feel gross-do I have a fever?" realization with the "But I really have to get into work today" impulse.
