your physician earns impact the care you receive? The Society
of General Internal Medicine says the United States is on track to
spend $4.5 trillion on health care within the next seven years and

Broadway and Tower Theater Art Exhibit
There's been a lot of talk lately about reinventing one of
Sacramento's most beloved thoroughfares: Broadway. But a
group of regional artists have designed an exhibit to show how much
they like the street just the way it is, or even, the way it
was. The exhibit at Beatnik Studios runs from March 30th to April 25th
and will have paintings, photographs and multimedia artworks
entirely devoted to the iconography most associated with the
Broadway District, like the original Tower Theatre, the city
cemetery, and the News 10 weather tower.
Founder of Beatnik, Wes Davis, and artists Greg
Latraille and Alan Dismuke join us.
