The Mad Centrist
"A sane person to an insane society must appear insane." ― Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Not Mad as in Angry, Mad as in Insane.
And in an insane world, the sane are simply Mad. I am The Mad Centrist.
You can be too!
The Mad Centrist podcast is a middle ground, pragmatic, politically polite, and irreverently independent show. Pulling the rug out from beneath Democrats and Republicans alike, while respecting democrats and republican citizens (the distinction between Party and people is critical!). Amusing anecdotes of the crazy world we find ourselves in, how to maybe get along better, and pull the world back towards sanity, and do so while having some fun!

TMC - Episode 53: Medicare and Medicaid explained
The Episode I promised long ago, in Episode #37. This episode covers the social programs Medicare and Medicaid. Two programs with similar names, but they are very different indeed! Take a listen to see if you feel they are worth our tax dollars, or if maybe you believe they are not.
Before you make up your mind though, listen and learn enough to make that an informed decision.
