Podcasts about ACA

On today's Gist Healthcare Podcast: Medicare Part B premiums rise 10 percent next year, the White House is in talks about extending ACA enhanced tax credits, and a federal judge signs off on Purdue Pharma's bankruptcy plan tied to the opioid crisis. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The past week featured the signing of the Continuing Resolution into law, ending the longest partial government shutdown in history. The president has also proposed a change to the way Obamacare subsidies are paid going forward. Rather than subsidizing ACA plans on the exchange, sending money directly to health insurance companies, President Trump is proposing the money be provided through Health Savings accounts that would be able to be used for the health care needs of the recipients to pursue their choice of healthcare options.  President Trump also announced new trade deals with El Salvador, Argentia, Ecuador and Guatemala and what was billed as a historic trade deal with Switzerland that will grant U.S. companies unprecedented access to sell into the country's markets.  

With all the political theater that's been going on in the past few weeks, we'd be doing our community a disservice to not address the whirlwind of news. We opened by reacting to the leaked Epstein emails, including a WILD allegation involving Trump and Bill Clinton. Before diving all the way into politics, we shared our quick thoughts on new music from Wale, Summer Walker, Meek Mill, and more. With the legendary Max B finally free after 18 years, we discussed how he should approach his highly-anticipated return to music. We then broke down a poll of the most regretted college majors, followed by a deeper conversation on income inequality, the flaws in capitalism, and whether it's a system worth fixing. From there, we got into Democrats dropping the ball on the government shutdown, the fallout from the expiring ACA credits, and whether we think the Epstein files will actually get released after Congress' upcoming vote. We also touched on Trump's latest proposals, including $2K tariff payouts and 50-year mortgages, and closed with our Mount Rushmore of positive Black influences.

After failing to pressure Republicans into voting no on releasing the Epstein files, Trump pulls an astonishing reversal and says they should vote yes—because he has nothing to hide. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy break down why Trump flipped and what might happen after the House votes. Then they discuss Marjorie Taylor Greene's reinvention as a unifier, her split with Trump, and what her makeover says about his waning power over the GOP. Plus, Trump wades into the Tucker Carlson–Nick Fuentes mess, Republicans plot potential replacements for the ACA subsidies, and Jon and Tommy attempt to explain one of the most salacious—and viral—Epstein emails to Lovett. Then, Tommy talks with Rep. Ro Khanna about the big Epstein vote and what the hell is going on with the American pressure campaign against Venezuela.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Listopad to w Ameryce czas, gdy miliony ludzi siadają do komputera, by wybrać ubezpieczenie zdrowotne na kolejny rok. To moment, w którym trzeba sobie odpowiedzieć na pytanie: stać mnie na ubezpieczenie czy nie. W tym roku temat ubezpieczeń znów podzielił polityków w Waszyngtonie i doprowadził do najdłuższego shutdownu w historii USA. Demokraci domagali się przedłużenia dopłat do planów Obamacare, Republikanie chcieli „czystej” ustawy budżetowej. Przez 43 dni federalne urzędy były zamknięte, a setki tysięcy pracowników nie otrzymywały wynagrodzeń. W tym odcinku tłumaczę, jak działa system ubezpieczeń zdrowotnych w Stanach Zjednoczonych, czym są dopłaty ACA, o co dokładnie poszło w politycznym sporze i dlaczego temat zdrowia od dekad wraca w amerykańskiej polityce jak bumerang.

The average American's actual healthcare expense is only 26% of what the cost of their health insurance policy costs The average ACA policy subsidy is $4,213 more than what the actual cost of healthcare is

The Rubicon - Monologue about the ACA

Indiana just told the cement industry it won't accept any blended cement with more than 10% limestone. That's a first - and it's not sitting well with the people who pushed Type IL cement in the first place. For the first time, a state DOT pushed back on Type IL cement—and the industry fired back. Indiana's Department of Transportation says it's protecting performance after bridge decks started scaling. The American Cement Association says the DOT's new limits are unnecessary, confusing, and unscientific. So, who's right—and what does it mean for the rest of the country's concrete? What You'll Learn • Why INDOT limited Type IL limestone content to 10% • The ACA's objections — and what's left unsaid • How PCA's 2021 carbon-neutrality roadmap and the federal Buy Clean program accelerated the switch to Type IL • Why the “one-to-one replacement” claim may have been oversold • How variable limestone content (≈7.6–12.4%) affects consistency and performance • Why admixtures and curing aren't substitutes for good practice • What INDOT's maintenance and inspection programs get right • Why other DOTs may follow Indiana's lead next Chapters 00:00 – Introduction & ACA Briefing Overview 01:00 – INDOT's 10% Limit and Industry Response 04:00 – How Type IL Cement Took Over the Market 07:30 – PCA Roadmap & Federal Buy Clean Pressure 10:30 – Complacency and the One-to-One Myth 14:00 – What Really Drove the 2021–2023 Flip 18:00 – Cement Chemistry and QC in the Field 22:00 – The Variability Problem: 7.6% vs 12.4% Limestone 26:30 – Are Admixtures and Curing the Real Culprits? 30:00 – INDOT's Data-Driven Maintenance Approach 32:00 – Why Other States Are Watching Closely Guest Info Dr. Jon Belkowitz – Chief Technical Officer, Intelligent Concrete Email: jon@intelligent-concrete.com Website: https://www.intelligent-concrete.comConcrete Logic Academy Earn your PDHs the logical way.

America is becoming a nation built on government dependency rather than self reliance, and the shutdown exposed just how deep the crisis goes. In this episode, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the explosive growth of entitlement programs, the expansion of Medicaid, SNAP, Section 8, and ACA subsidies, and the hidden mechanics of how millions of illegal immigrants access public benefits through household eligibility rules and state funded programs. He exposes the fraud, waste, and abuse costing taxpayers billions, and connects it to the catastrophic failures of a one point four trillion dollar education system that produces students who cannot read, write, or understand their own country. This episode challenges everything you think you know about freedom, responsibility, and the future of America, and explains why a dependent people cannot remain a free people. Episode Highlights How entitlement programs evolved into a massive dependency scheme that now reaches 127 million people The truth about mixed status households, imported dependency, and the real cost of illegal immigration to taxpayers Why a $1.4 trillion education system is failing and how this failure fuels long term government dependence  

With the government shutdown now over, the next battle in Congress is healthcare. Rising premiums, questions about extending ACA subsidies, and concerns about access and affordability are all back on the table. Missouri Congressman Jason Smith, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, joins the Rundown to explain why Republicans want broader reforms beyond Obamacare exchanges, how they hope to lower costs for every American, and what policy fights may be coming as both parties head toward the 2026 midterms. After years on the front lines of major cases, a former FBI special agent says the Bureau is no longer the agency she joined. Fox News Contributor, Nicole Parker, joins the Rundown to explain why she believes the FBI has become divided, what she witnessed inside the culture of the Bureau, and why restoring trust, focus and accountability is critical for its future.

This episode tackles some of the biggest financial decisions listeners are facing right now. Brian starts with a breakdown of upcoming ACA subsidy changes—why many families may see higher health insurance premiums next year and what planning steps to consider before open enrollment closes. We also cover challenges around financing a CBD/hemp-related business, why traditional banks often won't lend, and what alternative paths may still be available. From there, we dive into real listener questions. One caller wants to know whether a Roth conversion makes sense alongside pension income and future retirement withdrawals. Brian walks through how conversions really work, the tax traps people overlook, and how withholding decisions impact your final bill. Plus, a question about pulling equity from a four-plex to refinance or reinvest. Brian explains the pros and cons of HELOCs, traditional refinances, and VA loan options in the current interest-rate environment.   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Hosts: Brian Wiley & Jeremiah Bates ————————————————————— SPONSORS: Ataraxis PEO https://ataraxispeo.com Tree City Advisors of Apollon: https://www.treecityadvisors.com Apollon Wealth Management: https://apollonwealthmanagement.com/ —————————————————————

Washington just lived through a “Seinfeld shutdown”—a 43-day government closure over… basically nothing. Or was it nothing? This week, Ron Steslow is joined by Peter Suderman (features editor at Reason and host of the Reason Roundtable) to unpack the weirdest shutdown in modern memory and the deeply broken healthcare system underneath it. They dig into why Democrats picked this fight, why they folded even while winning the blame game, and what it says about Obamacare that it now needs emergency subsidies for the emergency subsidies. Then, from World War II wage controls to Hillarycare to the ACA, Peter walks through how America accidentally built three-and-a-half overlapping healthcare systems—and why both parties are in denial about the bill coming due.    In Politicology+ they dive into the battle between the Abundance Agenda and the ascendent socialism on the left Not yet a Politicology+ member?

Democrats release a new batch of Jeffrey Epstein's emails—including messages suggesting that Trump knew what Epstein was doing and spent time with one of his victims. Republicans fire back with 20,000 more pages of documents, Trump insists it's all a hoax, and Congress moves toward a vote that could force DOJ to release the full Epstein files. Jon and Dan break down how bad this is for Trump and his vanity building projects, the government's belated reopening, the lingering shutdown hangover, the future of ACA subsidies, and a sneaky provision that would let eight GOP senators sue the federal government. They also discuss Trump's disastrous interview with Laura Ingraham, his baffling affordability pivot, and MAGA outrage over Kash Patel using an FBI jet as his own private shuttle service. Then, Texas State Rep. James Talarico stops by to talk about why he's jumping into the Democratic primary to unseat Senator John Cornyn. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the Democratic Party is being internally devoured by Marxism and Islamism, ideologies foreign to America's founding principles. These forces, power-hungry and seeking centralized control, mask their hatred for the country as righteousness, liberation, equality, and affordability, while spreading rapidly and replacing the party's base and leadership.  In response, a fascistic reaction emerges on the radical right by grifters like podcasters and influencers who gain fame and wealth promoting it. Both Marxists and fascists seek to destroy American institutions—the former to replace them, the latter claiming they fail—leading to dwindling support for the Declaration, Constitution, and founders. The Republican Party resists this fascistic right, albeit insufficiently, whereas the Democratic Party, having unleashed and failed to control these forces, is now becoming the Marxist left. Also, Rep Mike Lawler calls in and explains that the Democrat government shutdown was idiotic, aimed at fighting Trump and appeasing their far-left base through political leverage rather than benefiting Americans or addressing healthcare. He argues that Obamacare's affordability relies solely on federal subsidies like enhanced ACA tax credits, which he is open to extending for one year to enable fundamental fixes, as the program has driven up costs over 15 years, destroyed the system through ineffective consolidation, and failed to achieve economies of scale.  Afterward, UC Berkeley student radicals from groups including Students Organizing for Liberation, Jewish Voice for Peace, and Young Democratic Socialists of America organized protests against a Turning Point event. These protesters are anti-Israel, anti-US radicals linked to Soros operations and leftist figures like Bernie Sanders and AOC, who seek to overthrow the country rather than engage in civil debate. Finally, we thank all who served in the military, although thanks can never be enough. Veterans are a unique and shrinking breed who deserve appreciation for their sacrifices, with the country owing them a great debt. Learn more about your ad choices.

Convicted felon Donald Trump got booed at an NFL game after our euphoric election. So the elites in Congress hit the panic button. This is World War III in America: oligarchy, Big Tech, and Democratic Senators obeying in advance.  Here to help us get back on track is Evgeny Finkel, a historian at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, and the author of Intent to Destroy: Russia's Two-Hundred-Year Quest to Dominate Ukraine and other works on  the anatomy of evil.
