Here's my favorite ramp for the day excerpted from our podcast which you can find over at

Tom Harbin.com.

Welcome back to the Tom Hartman program.

I want to thank all of my callers calling in today and I want this next segment

I really think you are all going to want to hear this and listen and Tom's audience are the exact people.

You as part of the media revolution have to take this story and we need to use it to build power to push for change to our incredibly broken

non-system of health care in this country. I'm joined in studio by Andy Brodock who is

To everyone, Andy, thank you so much for joining us on the Tom Hartman program.

And since we were in the Midwest, we got married right away and then had kids right after that. So we were 25, had two kids, and we were doing everything right. We were working, trying to get through best we could. And Naomi started to get sick. What I mean is she would come home from work and go to bed,

and I had a job too.

So I was trying to do my job and take care

of the kids at home, and then she would come home and go to bed.
