PODCAST: Opening borders to doctors

The winners and losers of oil prices, health insurance premiums, and opening borders to foreign doctors.

When oil prices plummet, there are winners and there are losers. More on that. Plus, it’s a classic good news/bad news story. Post Obamacare, employer health insurance premiums have declined in a majority of states, according to new figures from the Commonwealth Fund. That’s the good news. The bad news? Because wages are growing so slowly, healthcare cost is still taking up a bigger part of household budgets. And speaking of health care, we’ll talk about the benefits of opening up our borders to foreign doctors.
