Episode notes
GOP Has No Cohesive Health Plan
- Republicans lack a unified healthcare replacement and are politically adrift as premiums spike.
- Their presented options are a grab-bag that omit extending expiring Obamacare subsidies.
Tackle Costs Not Rebates
- Address healthcare costs directly rather than one-off rebates like Trump’s $1,500 checks.
- Pursue structural reforms (e.g., PBM reform, negotiation powers) to reduce systemic inflation.
Admin Costs Drive Healthcare Inflation
- Administrative overhead and provider pricing drive massive healthcare cost growth.
- Private, complex insurance systems inflate paperwork and administrative staffing across hospitals and insurers.
