In this episode: How Biden supercharged subsidies and why both parties use fake “expiration dates” as an accounting gimmick Subsidies up to 400% of the poverty line—and what that does to premiums and politics The eye-popping math: ~$3.45/week at 100% FPL (taxpayers cover ~98%) and ~$52/week at 250% FPL (taxpayers cover ~⅔) Why 40% of fully subsidized enrollees had zero claims—insurers still get paid Workers ditching employer plans for free/cheap exchange plans—and the $450B price tag to extend this for a decade This isn’t “protecting healthcare.” It’s locking in massive subsidies, masking costs, and sending you the bill while our broken system gets even worse.
