Walt Thiessen offers a personal commentary on his discussion of ObamaCare with a contributor to Nolan Chart, while Bill Westmiller reviews some of the recent healthcare developments that aren't making the headlines.   The Affordable Care Act isn't matching Obama's promise of an average $2,500 reduction in health insurance premiums, but the co-hosts find a host of other problems still over the horizon.

Santorum remains in the single digits of public polling.   China and Russia have decided to work together to eliminate the "petro dollar" monopoly on fuel exchanges. The hosts speculate about the effect on FED inflation and the U.S. economy.
