Will healthcare costs sway how you vote?
About this episode
The episode discusses how healthcare costs are influencing voter behavior ahead of the elections and touches on a currency swap proposal between the UAE and the US.

Then, the United Arab Emirates wants a currency swap with the United States. We explain.
