This is yet another example of a scandal that would plague any other Presidency, yet because it's Trump, we barely notice and instead only deliver a loud collective yawn, because it's just one more outrage on top of the hundreds and thousands of others he's racked up while in office.
But hey! Meanwhile, a 63-year-old man who retired early to take care of his wife with Alzheimer's related dementia is seeing his health insurance cost go up by 114% in 2026. America First! Am I right?
To a
much lesser extent James, me and many other Americans are in the same boat. (Price, not medical situation) I know this is thin soup when the stakes are so high, but do you think the government/Trump/and the insurers will figure something out before or early in 2026? TACO could be on our side this time. In any case, if enough Americans pay double premiums in 2026 the midterms won't be a wave, they will be a bloodbath. So maybe a serious consideration of these issues in 2027 at the latest?
I get it that I am prone to Pollyannaism, but this is a big enough deal that the government and insurance industries collective hands could actually be forced.
