Understanding Paul Ryan's Budget Plan

Interview:
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2012-08-15/understanding-paul-ryans-budget-plan


Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s selection of Paul Ryan as his running mate has led to new interest in the Wisconsin congressman’s budget. In its latest form, the Ryan plan changes Medicare from a system of guaranteed payments for seniors to one that uses “premium support” credits. These vouchers may be used to purchase private insurance or to join traditional Medicare. The Ryan budget also cuts Medicaid, keeps the Bush tax cuts and streamlines the federal tax code. Critics say it will end Medicare as we know it. Supporters say reform is necessary to save the program from bankruptcy. Diane and guests discuss the Paul Ryan budget plan and what it means for the future of federal entitlement programs.

Mental Health Services Under The Affordable Care Act

Interview:
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2012-07-31/mental-health-services-under-affordable-care-act


The deadly Colorado shooting underscores the need to better identify, diagnose and treat people with mental illness. Diane and guests will discuss the future of mental health services under the Affordable Care Act.

The Business Congress Left Behind

Interview:
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2012-08-06/business-congress-left-behind


Lawmakers have gone home for a five-week break, leaving a lengthy list of uncompleted work. Among the measures left behind are drought relief, postal reform, cybersecurity and a plan to deal with the Bush-era tax and mandatory spending cuts. Public approval ratings for Congress remain below twenty percent. Members campaigning for re-election are facing tough questions about their ability to find common ground on the big problems facing the nation. A panel joins Diane to discuss what the 112th Congress has, and has not, accomplished, and how that could affect the election in November.

Hate Groups In America

Interview:
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2012-08-08/hate-groups-america



The number of active hate groups in the U.S. has doubled in the last 10 years. New studies indicate there are now more than a thousand of these groups in America today. High unemployment, changing demographics and anger at a black president are among the factors attracting new members. The shooting rampage by a white supremacist at a Sikh temple in suburban Wisconsin has raised concerns about the danger posed by these groups, which are treated differently than foreign terrorists by law enforcement. Diane and guests discuss the rising threat of hate groups and what can be done to track their members.

Chain Medicine

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2012/08/08/chain-medicine



Time was, every doctor in America was the lone practitioner, taking patients and doing medicine by his or her own lights.  A lot has changed.  It’s going to change more, says my guest today, writer and surgeon Atul Gawande.  The new model?

It may be a restaurant chain, the Cheesecake Factory, he says.  A huge menu, lots of outlets, lots of centrally-crafted recipes and control.  “Big Med,” he calls it, with cookie-cutter medicine and tons of central oversight.  It could raise quality and cuts costs.  Or not.

This hour, On Point:  Atul Gawande, on the chain restaurant model for health care.

Tea Party: Grassroots Or Big Money?

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2012/08/08/tea-party

America’s rough and ready Tea Party was indisputably triumphant in 2010, flooding Capitol Hill with a fiery conservative freshman class in the House.  Then the pumped-up rallies and town hall meetings died away.  Word on the street was that the Tea Party’s day in the sun had passed.  Well, maybe not.

It’s quieter now, but it’s happy to tell you it’s chalking up victories.  A US Senate majority is the big target.  Thumping conservatives with Tea Party backers are winning primaries.  And big bucks.  So is it the people?  The money?  The message?
This hour, On Point:  Tea Party politics, 2012.

Week In The News: Romney-Ryan, Immigration, New Galaxy -- Tom Ashbrook

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2012/08/17/week-in-the-news-209

Paul Ryan on the GOP ticket and on the trail this week, as the presidential campaign swirls with “gutter” charges.   Mitt Romney talks taxes, just a little.  Joe Biden talks chains.  Medicare, big in the spotlight.

In Afghanistan, a Blackhawk down and more Americans killed by so-called allies.  In Moscow, a guilty verdict for punk rockers protestors.  In London, little Ecuador gives asylum to Wikileak’s Julian Assange.

We’ve got a wave of young immigrants signing up for work permits.  More wildfire.  A new cluster of galaxies gushing new stars.
This hour, On Point: Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.

Friday News Roundup - Domestic -- Diane Rehm Show

Interview:
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2012-08-17/friday-news-roundup-domestic


A Pennsylvania judge upheld a controversial voter ID law that will go into effect starting this Election Day. Tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants lined up in cities across the country to apply for deportation deferrals allowed by a new federal program. And retail sales in the U.S. rose more than forecast in July, the first gain in four months. Susan Page of USA Today, Major Garrett of National Journal and Lisa Lerer of Bloomberg News join guest host Tom Gjelten of NPR for analysis of the week's top national news stories.

A helicopter crash in southern Afghanistan killed seven American troops and four Afghans. The U.S. accused Iran of building and training a Syrian militia.
