So what happens to someone like me - my husband is self-employed, practically unemployed.  We have to pay our own insurance and it's $300 per month with a $2500 deductible.  It's crazy expensive to go to the doctor.  With 2 small children we have to be coughing up a lung to go in because it's so much additional money.  How does this reform help me?  What we have is like having to insurance at all.  Forget preventative care.  We're just trying not to get sick.

I have read "The Shack" and I really appreciated your show today. Thank you for your civilized discussion, interesting questions and fascinating guests. I thought it was great.

As a long time Christ Follower and Gen Xer who has questioned the powers that be I found "The Shack" to be beautiful, profound and life changing. And I'm not alone nor have my feelings been limited to others in my generation. I am finding that it is resonating across the board - from my parents and their "crowd" to my nieces and nephews and their friends. I have found great freedom from reading this book.

It was a tangible stepping stone for me to use from struggling in an institutional "church" setting to breathing freely in relationship with Jesus. I still attend a church, but I can freely worship, grow and be in community because of my relationship with Christ and others. I love the freedom that my "faith" has afforded because of my relationship with Christ.

Thank you again for a great program. Emily Harris - you are a great host. I'm very impressed.
