Bonus Episode 11: Andrew and Jerry Talk Health Care Policy and Kilmar Abrego Garcia
In this bonus edition of Andrew and Jerry Save the World, Andrew kicks things off with a recent radio interview featuring co-host Jerry Rogers. The two dive into key healthcare and policy issues, including why tariffs on pharmaceuticals won’t raise prices in the short term, the importance of fixing the "pill penalty" embedded in the Inflation Reduction Act, and how Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) continue to inflate drug costs. They also take on the growing push from some conservatives to restrict SNAP benefits in the name of nutrition—warning that it’s a slippery slope toward surveillance and government overreach.
Later in the episode, Andrew digs into the controversial Kilman-Abrego-Garcia case with guests Tim Head (Unified.US) and Will Chamberlain (Article III Project). They break down the facts, the legal realities of deportation policy, and whether Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen may have violated the Logan Act in his advocacy abroad. It’s a wide-ranging, punchy episode that delivers facts, context, and a healthy dose of common sense.
