Hey weedzers, are you going to be in Austin for South by Southwest? If so, I'd love to invite you to join me for a live tap in the Ezra Clancho.

I'll be at the Deep End by Vox Media on Sunday, March 11th at 330, talking to the Linda Gates co-chair of the Bill and the Linda Gates Foundation.

We're going to be talking about the work they do, about the state of public health worldwide, about what isn't getting better in the world.

I'm very excited to have this conversation. The work they do is important and it is controversial and it is interesting and it is making a lot of lives better.

There's a lot around that to dig into. I think that's going to be a very good episode.

You should come see it. The Deep End by Vox Media, we are taking over the Belmont for a three day event at South by Southwest.

Again, that is from March 9th to March 11th. It isn't just me. We're going to get live podcasts from many Vox Media podcasts and network favorites, including Kara Swishers, Rico DeCode, the Virgis Verge Cast.

Again, you can join me for a live taping the Ezra Clancho on Sunday, March 11th at 330 for a conversation with Linda Gates.

To request an invitation, go to Vox Media.com, slash SXSW-2018. Again, that is Vox Media.com slash SXSW-2018.

I know that is super memorable, but again, SXSW-2018. I'm looking forward to seeing you there.

Maybe you just have a major federal taxes, but still pay your California taxes.

I bet you lose in that salt deduction. That's another episode.

I joined as always by Sarah Cliff. Ezra's out on vacation this week. So we're joined by Dylan Scott, a policy reporter focusing especially on healthcare here at Vox.com.

Which means we're going to talk healthcare.

We're going to talk healthcare. We've got a good research paper. It's about administrative data.

American. From the United States and fucking America.

We're done with Scandinavia. It's amazing. US administrative data is rare, but powerful, potent.

We got a couple of healthcare things we want to talk about. Starting with a new proposal. What I would consider a white paper.

Yes, I think this is a true white paper and our white paper versus working paper debate.

So this is a paper from the Center for American Progress. It proposes a program called Medicare Extra for All.

Which is kind of clunky, but I think it's notable for two reasons.
