S1 E2 • Paying for Healthcare

From John Stossel's blog: Fox News reports today that the Senate health “reform” bill is in danger from liberal Democrats. Former Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said: "I know health reform when I see it, and there isn't much left in the Senate bill." He’s right. It isn’t “reform”. But expanding the government’s role in healthcare isn’t reform either. And why does the media call what Congress does, health “reform”? The definition of reform is: making something better. I don’t know that what Congress does will make our system better. Much of what Congress does makes life worse. Tonight’s show (8pm ET / 5pm PT) is about government’s promises. The “reformers” say they will improve American health care, and slow the growth in costs. To believe that Congress will do this is magical thinking. They won’t keep costs under control. Medicare was supposed to cost $12 billion a year by 1990, but the actual cost was $110 billion. In the UK, the government-run system has tripled per-person spending since 1990 – a much bigger increase than is the US. My studio audience includes single-payer activists and members of the NYU Young Communist Club. They will give Whole Foods’ CEO John Mackey and me a hard time. Mackey’s stores were boycotted by “progressives” after he wrote an Op Ed that was critical of Government-Care. Hope you can join us tonight on Fox Business. If you cannot, the health care show will be re-broadcast Friday night at 10 (against my old program, 20/20!), Saturday at 7PM EST, and Sunday at 11PM EST.

S1 E41 • Libertarians and the Election

On this program, John analyzes the results of the Tuesday mid-term elections in the USA, with the help of his guests. John attempts to answer the question, did some voters shy away from certain candidates out of ignorance and a misconception of what libertarians are really about? The core theme: did Libertarians get their ideas across to the public? Did Libertarians win? With Tea Party candidates and protesters getting much attention in this cycle, John also takes another look at the Tea Party and its ideology to see whether it really squares with that of most Libertarians. And, we hear from typically great guests, among them Ron Paul, Bill O'Reilly, and favorite Fox News liberal contributor, Ellis Henican.

S1 E47 • Skepticism & Religion

Do you believe in psychics, astrology, ghosts? Polls show that about a quarter of Americans believe in such paranormal nonsense. But if any of that were true, you'd think the astrologers, or psychics, or ghost hunters would be eager to prove it, because, not only would they be proven right, they'd make a million dollars. That’s right, James Randi will pay them, or you, a million dollars. All you have to do is prove you have an ability that can’t be explained by science. Mr Randi says it is simple. Make a claim about your ability, and his group will devise a way to test it. If you can do what you say, he will give you a million dollars. He won’t even test you himself. He says some people have complained that he gives off “vibrations” that mess up the test. So far no one has collected. In fact, no one has even passed a preliminary test. On my show tonight James Randi will also demonstrate how some of these people, like the ones selling “power” bracelets that they claim can increase your balance or strength… trick you into thinking their products work. He’ll perform a test on me tonight, at 9pm on the Fox Business Network.
