Host Andy Richter asks the same three questions to each guest: Where do you come from? Where are you going? What have you learned? These three simple questions, when answered honestly and thoughtfully, are enough to provide a pretty complete picture of who a person is. The answers are what Andy always wants to know about people.

So, let’s talk about North Carolina. What a weird outlier of the direction of other states getting active on their healthcare spend. I’m talking about Texas, Indiana, Wisconsin ... I’m naming so-called red states because the legislature in North Carolina is a Republican majority. Gotta say, normally I’m down for a little weird. I find it mostly cha…
