Over his first two years in office, he accomplished many of his policy goals, and The Atlantic reporter Franklin Foer was there to witness it all.

What if we reimagined the health care system so it was incentivized to keep people healthy instead of just treating them when they got sick? That’s the discussion Andy has with Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) and Accountable for Health CEO Mara McDermott on this week’s episode. They take a look at efforts both in Congress and private enterprise to move to a care system that puts patients first and emphasizes quality over quantity. Plus, how and where these changes are already working and will benefit you.  Keep up with Andy on Post and X @ASlavitt.

America’s homelessness crisis is getting worse, despite the billions spent each year to fix it. Single family home prices continue to rise. In California alone, fewer than 20% of households can even qualify to buy a house. While the problem seems overwhelming, viable solutions are actually within reach, especially if people stop saying, “Not in my backyard." Andy is joined by Tomiquia Moss, founder and CEO of All Home CA; and Tommy Newman, vice president of engagement and activation at United Way of Greater Los Angeles. They talk about humanizing unhoused people and about streamlining affordable housing construction to fill the state’s multimillion-unit shortage. Keep up with Andy on Post and Twitter @ASlavitt.
