Episode Synopsis

Hour Two opens with the Top 5 @ 5 sharing the biggest stories of the past 24 hours which included: Milwaukee Public Schools launching a new program supporting unhoused students, former President Barack Obama signaling it’s time for a new generation of leaders in a recent sit-down, reports reigniting the debate on whether social media and intelligence can coexist, a controversial political pardon, ending with a shocking story pushing people to ask themselves: How far would you go for love?

Later in the hour Dr. Ken takes aim at current healthcare costs spiraling out of control. With new hospital and insurance data, he asks the question many avoid—Does cost influence which doctor you choose? He continues the conversation by unpacking the realities behind healthcare pricing and asking what the ideal healthcare plan might look like for everyday people in Milwaukee & along with discovering the true cost of healthcare from payments to what they’re willing (or not willing) to do to afford care.
