Frisco and Scott celebrate the one-year anniversary of the podcast with a brief trip down memory lane. Then it’s on to more serious news: a looming court challenge over a Ford government bill that paves the way for some elderly hospital patients to be moved to long-term care facilities that they don’t choose — and if they refuse to leave, they’ll be charged $400 per day. Our guest is lawyer Steven Shrybman, who represents one of two public health advocacy groups that have launched a Charter challenge of the “More Beds, Better Care Act.” Also on the show: some big victories for Village Media.
