Objective of the Plan Lower healthcare costs for Americans. Extend expiring ACA subsidies temporarily while transitioning to a new system. Shift financial benefits from insurance companies to individuals. Proposed Measures Two-year extension of Enhanced Premium Tax Credits (originally expanded during COVID-19). Income eligibility cap for subsidies at 700% of the federal poverty line to prevent wealthy Americans from benefiting. Minimum premium payments to ensure cost-sharing. Encourage Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and direct tax credits to individuals rather than insurers. Push for cost-sharing reductions that were previously blocked in Congress. Financial Impact Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates reforms could: Lower premiums by 12.7%. Save taxpayers $30.8 billion. Criticism of ACA for being “unsustainable” and increasing premiums by 80% since passage. Political Context Democrats opposed previous Republican attempts to include cost-sharing reductions in legislation. Debate over whether reforms should be bipartisan or passed via budget reconciliation. Trump emphasizes “power to the people” by allowing individuals to control healthcare spending. Underlying Philosophy There is a strong focus on consumer choice and freedom. Opposition to government-managed healthcare and subsidies flowing to insurance companies. A belief that direct-to-consumer funding will reduce corruption and lower costs. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

#390 In this episode, Guy welcomes back former theoretical physicist David Clements who now bridges consciousness, science, and the spiritual realm. They discuss the ongoing powerful evolutionary waves that started on December 4th and are designed to uplift planetary systems including our solar system. David shared detailed insights into the Arcturian and inner earth beings facilitating these changes and emphasizes the importance of connecting with one's heart intelligence. They explore practical aspects of maintaining high energy levels, the eventual collapse of outdated systems, and the broader cosmic implications of these shifts. The discussion also touches on his personal journey from a scientific to a spiritual perspective, and how humanity can best prepare for and embrace these transformative times. About Dr. David: In my early days, I began as an artist, spending most of my time dreaming and imagining beyond the reality I was living in. Which later, after a doorinside me opened, allowed me to develop a deep intuitive insight into the conscious quantum nature of reality. But before this fully opened, I was propelled into, and became, a professional theoretical physicist, working in string theory (a theory of subatomic particles and multi-dimensional spaces) as well as advanced theories of electromagnetism in some of the world's leading and prestigious academic institutions such as Cambridge and Oxford Universities. I left this profession because the opening within had revealed to me a very different view of the living conscious nature of quantum reality, a far distance from the mathematical and structured world I had learnt to work in.My conscious awakening, and connection with the higher aspects of myself began just after the year 2000, when I learned to view remotely. From here, my intuition and energetic senses came alive in ways I never before imagined possible. From here, I began a deep journey, moving into, and becoming more heart centered. Unravelling the many layers of past and current life aspects within myself to gain more connection to the Creative Source field consciousnes of love and my whole Self. In doing so, I was given deeper insights into the workings of realities, as well as inspirations for innovations and ideas, that it is my heart felt joy to share with others.

He outlines three major points: the anticipated rescheduling of marijuana to Schedule 3 and its financial implications for the industry, the potential shutdown of the current hemp market due to new federal definitions and enforcement, and the long-term impact of enhanced research on cannabinoids for medical use.

In this episode, we unpack one of the biggest gaps between amateur and professional padel: how players actually train.Fresh from Barcelona and a behind-the-scenes look at one of the highest-level finals ever played, Sandy shares what stood out most—not just the level in matches, but the detail and intention in how the pros prepare. From practicing individual shots to adapting to slow courts, we explore why training (not just matches) is where real improvement happens.We also reflect on coaching trips to South Africa, the rise of new padel communities, and why so many club players plateau despite playing multiple times a week. The takeaway is simple but powerful: small, consistent training blocks can completely change your game.If you want to improve in 2026 without spending more hours on court, this episode is your starting point.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____Every year, many of us feel pressure to set resolutions, overhaul our lives, or become a “new version” of ourselves. That approach rarely works for ADHD brains.In this episode, let's talk about a different way forward. Instead of adding more goals, habits, or systems, this episode explores the power of choosing one word to guide the year and why simplicity works so well for ADHD brains. Tracy walks through the science behind why a single, emotionally charged word is easier to remember, easier to act on, and more motivating than long to do lists or rigid plans.The episode also shares the personal experiences that shaped Tracy's word for 2026, including major family health events, big transitions, and the decision to let go of a long time family home. Along the way, she explains why ADHD brains do not thrive on more, how clutter and obligation quietly drain cognitive bandwidth, and why subtraction can actually bring clarity, creativity, and energy back online.You'll hear how subtracting is not about minimalism or doing less for the sake of it, but about making space for what actually matters. From simplifying systems and commitments to questioning beliefs that no longer fit, this episode offers a grounded way to think about growth that does not rely on pressure or perfection.If you're feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or ready to stop carrying what no longer fits, this episode is for you.Resources:Website: tracyotsuka.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/tracyotsuka YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tracyotsuka4796FREE 3-days to Fall in Love With Your ADHD Brain training on Jan 6th:  tracyotsuka.com/ilovemybrain Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work?

At age 12, Chloe Cole began identifying as male and started socially transitioning. Soon after, she was put on puberty blockers. Testosterone injections followed at age 13, and she underwent a double mastectomy at 15.Shortly after the surgery, she realized that it had all been a terrible mistake: “I didn't believe that I was a boy ... until that idea was put in my head.”When she decided to detransition, the community that once eagerly encouraged her to transition into a boy treated her like she was “subhuman,” she says.“The moment that I detransitioned, I was human garbage to them,” she says.Now she has become one of the most vocal critics of what's been dubbed “gender-affirming care” for minors.Under the Trump administration, several measures have been put in place to end the medical transitioning of minors: In January, President Donald Trump issued the executive order “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation.”Earlier this month, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services proposed a new rule that prohibits hospitals that perform “sex-rejecting” procedures on minors from participation in Medicare and Medicaid Programs. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently spoke out against such procedures for minors and described them as medical malpractice.And days ago, the House of Representatives voted to pass a bill that could imprison health care providers for providing these procedures to minors.Cole, who is 21 years old today, supports such measures to put an end to medical transitioning of minors, but she's convinced that this is not enough: “This doesn't end with bans. We have to go all out and hold everybody who was involved accountable.”And that's what she's doing: Cole filed a high-profile lawsuit in California against her healthcare provider, Kaiser Permanente, as well as her surgeon, endocrinologist, and the psychologist who referred her to surgery, alleging medical negligence, lack of informed consent, and fraud in placing her on puberty blockers, testosterone, and performing a double mastectomy.Her legal team, among them Dhillon Law Group and the Center for American Liberty, has added punitive damages claims, presenting her case as a test of whether “gender-affirming” treatment for minors will be treated as malpractice in U.S. courts.“It's something that has to be illegalized on both the state and federal level, so that no child ever is going to be hurt ever again,” she said, adding, “We have to go after the manufacturers or the drugs of the medical devices that they are giving to children.”Since 2022, Chloe has testified before multiple state legislatures. She also testified in the 2023 U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “The Dangers and Due Process Violations of ‘Gender-Affirming Care' for Children.”“Testimonies of people like me, who come out of it, who speak to the truth, are so threatening to them, because it completely dismantles their ideology,” she said.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Jeremy Keil explains the 5 steps you can take if you are planning to retire in 2026 or 2027. If you've been planning to retire in 2026 or 2027, it might feel like you still have plenty of time. But in reality, retirement has a way of showing up earlier than expected — and when it does, the people who feel the most confident are the ones who prepared well in advance. In this episode of Retire Today, I walk through five things you should do before you quit working if retirement is anywhere on your near-term horizon. These steps aren't about picking a perfect retirement date. They're about being ready — even if your plans change. Why You Should Prepare Earlier Than You Think Two important statistics shape this entire conversation. First, the stock market is historically up about 70% of the time in any given year. That also means it's down about 30% of the time. If you're retiring soon, there's a real chance that your account balances could be lower at retirement than they are today. Second, most Americans retire about three years earlier than they expect. Health changes, job shifts, burnout, or family needs often move retirement forward — whether planned or not. That's why I encourage people to prepare for retirement three years ahead of time, even if they believe they'll work longer. Planning early gives you flexibility. Waiting too long removes it. 1. Create a Written Retirement Plan The first and most important step is to put your plan in writing. Many people have a retirement date in mind, but when asked how everything will actually work, they don't have clear answers. A written plan forces clarity. This is where the 5-Step Retirement Plan comes in: What you'll SPEND What you'll MAKE What you'll KEEP after taxes How you'll INVEST What you'll LEAVE behind Writing this down helps turn vague ideas into an actionable roadmap — and exposes gaps before they become problems. 2. Build a Lifetime Income Plan Retirement isn't about having a big account balance — it's about knowing where your income will come from every month. Before you retire, you should know: How much income you need Where that income will come from Which accounts you'll use first How taxes affect each withdrawal At a minimum, you should map out the first 12 months of retirement income in detail. That includes Social Security, pensions, savings, brokerage accounts, and retirement accounts — and the tax rules that apply to each one. Surprises here are costly. Planning removes them. 3. Make Your Retirement Plan Tax-Smart Many people assume their taxes will automatically go down in retirement. Sometimes that's true — but not always. Pensions, Social Security, required minimum distributions, and investment income can push retirees into higher tax brackets than expected. The key is understanding when you'll have flexibility and using it intentionally. Retirement often creates opportunities to: Shift income between tax years Take advantage of lower tax brackets Manage Roth conversions strategically Plan around healthcare subsidies Taxes don't disappear in retirement — they change. Planning ahead helps you adapt. 4. Plan Your Retirement Healthcare Healthcare is one of the biggest unknowns in retirement. Before you retire, you should know: What coverage you'll use immediately What it will cost How that coverage changes over time When Medicare becomes part of the picture Options may include employer coverage through a spouse, COBRA, retiree health plans, ACA plans, or Medicare — and each comes with different costs and rules. Healthcare planning isn't just about insurance. It's about understanding how medical costs interact with your tax plan and your income strategy. 5. Create a Retirement Investment Plan Retirement changes your investment timeline. You're no longer investing only for growth — you're investing for income and stability, too. That means separating your money into: Short-term funds for near-term spending Long-term investments for growth over decades Money you'll need soon shouldn't be exposed to short-term market swings. At the same time, money you won't need for many years still needs growth to keep up with inflation. The right investment plan balances both — and helps prevent panic decisions when markets get volatile. The Bottom Line If you're planning to retire in 2026 or 2027, now is the time to prepare. Not because something bad will happen — but because preparation gives you options. Retirement doesn't have to be so stressful. With a written plan, a clear income strategy, smart tax planning, healthcare clarity, and a thoughtful investment approach, you can step into retirement with confidence — whenever it arrives.

PART ONE: What if weight loss had less to do with discipline - and more to do with what you believe to be true about yourself? In this episode, I'm joined by weight loss coach and hypnotist Sophia Lightfoot, who shares how her own healing journey led her to help others break through unconscious blocks around food, body image, and self-worth. We explore how the subconscious mind stores beliefs that shape our eating habits, and why true change often begins with how we think, not just what we eat.

Pressure has a way of distorting priorities. The moment the lights go up and the scores start flashing, even calm adults can tighten, snap, or say things they wish they could take back. We wanted to talk frankly about how to keep the main thing the main thing: people first, gymnastics second. That shift changes how we coach after mistakes, how we handle parents, and how we protect safety and confidence across a long season.We dig into what real support looks like the second an athlete falls: acknowledge the sting, set a short window to feel it, and move forward with a clear reset so the next event isn't compromised. We talk about why yelling never improves performance, how composure lowers risk, and how a steady voice with specific feedback can raise standards without fear. From there, we zoom out to identity. Scores fade, medals fade, but character—and the relationships built in pressure—last. You'll hear stories from the highest level, including Olympic heartbreak and redemption, and why the handshake after a miss often matters more than the podium moment.Culture needs systems, not just pep talks. We share practical tools you can adopt today: educate parents early and often on expectations and etiquette; use the Rule of Seven to make routine readiness objective and safe; set staff boundaries and even a “safe word” to tag out before emotions take over. We also spotlight the quiet excellence of coaches who consistently produce great gymnastics without ever raising their voice. Calm doesn't mean passive; it means predictable standards, clear communication, and a gym where be nice, work hard isn't a poster, it's practice.If this resonates, share it with a fellow coach, parent, or athlete who wants a healthier season.

If you've been feeling quietly uncomfortable—less patient with certain patterns, more aware of what drains you, and more sensitive to what feels misaligned—this episode is for you. Raising your standards isn't about judgment or superiority. It's often the Holy Spirit gently preparing you for expansion. In this episode of the God's Vibes Podcast, we talk about how growth in Christ naturally changes what you tolerate, agree with, and make room for. As God increases your capacity, He also refines your discernment. Things that once felt normal begin to feel heavy—not because they're evil, but because they no longer fit where you're going. This is a conversation about: recognizing when God is raising your internal standards releasing survival patterns without shame learning to honor peace, clarity, and obedience trusting the quiet shifts that come before promotion If you've been sensing a change you can't fully explain—but you know you can't go back—this episode will help you name it, trust it, and move forward with grace.   If this message resonated with you, I want to invite you deeper. ✨ Become a God's Vibes Insider That's where I share behind-the-scenes teaching, prophetic insight, and first access to what God is building in this season.

Today's guest is someone I first came across on the Irish People in VC list—and I'm really glad I reached out. Because it turns out Maureen Haverty has one of the most fascinating jobs you can imagine: helping build the future of space. As a Principal at Seraphim Space, the world's leading space-focused VC firm, she invests globally in technologies pushing the boundaries of what's possible —and shaping the future of space startup investment.Maureen began her career in nuclear engineering, earning a PhD from the University of Manchester before making the leap into startups. At Apollo Fusion, she survived a hard pivot into space, ultimately becoming COO and steering the company through a $150M acquisition by Astra. That experience—what she calls a startup “baptism by fire”—now informs how she backs early-stage founders as both investor and board director. Her insights have been featured in The Times, and she'll soon take the stage at Web Summit to speak on “Space as a Strategic Frontier.”Key Takeaways“Build just enough”: Space startups win by testing early and often, not waiting for perfection.Kill fewer dreams: Rigor matters—but so does nurturing half-formed ideas.Get to space ASAP: In-orbit validation creates trust and unlocks massive growth.From Gantt charts to fast loops: High-performing teams test weekly, not quarterly.Customer conversations still matter: Even in space, talking to users beats assumptions.Additional InsightsWhy VC funding in space is shifting toward earlier MVPs.The hidden costs of acquisition for startup culture and speed.How Starship may reshape what's possible—size, cost, and assembly in orbit.The role of government contracts in fostering a competitive space ecosystem.Episode Highlights00:00 – Episode RecapMaureen Haverty shares how balancing rigor with creativity helped her evolve from nuclear engineer to space startup COO to VC. The key? Learning when to test, when to build, and when to let wild ideas breathe.01:35 – Guest Introduction: Maureen HavertyBarry introduces Maureen Haverty, Principal at Seraphim Space and advocate for grounded rigor in an industry literally aiming for the stars.03:35 – Learning When Not to Kill IdeasMaureen reflects on being labeled a “dream killer” and how she transformed that mindset to foster innovation with constructive rigor.07:34 – Applying Rigor Without Stifling InnovationHow Apollo used just-enough testing, internal prototyping, and diverse team strengths to build better, faster.13:54 – Rethinking MVPs in Space StartupsWhy even space companies now push to generate early revenue and test hardware pre-launch.18:19 – Customers Want Something They Can SeeBuilding a physical, testable product—even a crude one—outperforms pitch decks every time.20:32 – The $70M Lesson of In-Space TestingHow one flight test flipped customer hesitation into a flood of contracts.26:12 – Surviving the Shift from Prototype to ProductionThe real scaling challenge: maintaining culture and customer trust while redesigning for scale.30:15 – The Hidden Power of Primes and PolicyWhy space remains deeply shaped by government buyers—and how that's changing with new VC-backed players.35:33 – Starship and the Future of SpaceMaureen shares what could shift when larger...

Become a paid supporter on Patreon— ⁠https://patreon.com/tomfroese⁠What if social media isn't actually social anymore—and what if that changes how creatives should use it?In this monologue episode, I reflect on a growing realization I've been wrestling with for years: social media has quietly shifted from a space for sharing and connection into something much closer to corporate media. And many independent creatives have been doing a lot of unpaid work for big tech without fully realizing it.I talk candidly about my own experience building audiences on Instagram, YouTube, and this podcast—and why the familiar promise of “just keep sharing and it will pay off” no longer feels like a fair trade. I unpack the gambling-like dynamics of algorithms, attention, and hope, and explain the one big mindset shift I'm making as I head into 2026.This episode isn't about quitting social media. It's about rethinking our relationship to it, getting clearer about what we're actually selling, and using these platforms more intentionally—as business tools, not creative homes.

In today's episode, Dr. Killeen shares a simple but powerful communication idea that can completely change how conversations feel—with patients, team members, and even at home. It all comes down to listening well enough to earn one word: “Exactly.” When people feel truly understood, walls come down, trust goes up, and real connection happens. This episode breaks down how to practice accurate empathy and why slowing down to really “get it” can make your communication calmer, clearer, and far more effective.

If the word sales makes you tense up, this episode is about to change everything.In this conversation, sales expert Adam Cerra breaks down why most solopreneurs struggle with selling, and it's not because they're bad at it. It's because they've been taught the wrong mindset. Instead of “closing,” Adam introduces inverse closing, a way to turn sales calls into guided conversations where prospects sell themselves without pressure, manipulation, or feeling salesy.You'll learn how to stop pricing your time and start pricing your wisdom, how to run discovery calls that feel collaborative (not awkward), and how to follow up without chasing or feeling desperate. Whether you're booking your first calls or already selling high-ticket services, this episode gives you practical, confidence-boosting shifts you can apply immediately.Episode FAQsWhat is inverse closing, and why does it work for solopreneurs?Inverse closing is a sales approach where the solopreneur acts as an assessor rather than a closer. Instead of pitching, you guide the prospect to articulate their own needs and reasons for buying. This works especially well for solopreneurs because it removes pressure, builds trust, and aligns sales with service, making conversations feel natural and collaborative.How can solopreneurs stop feeling “salesy” on discovery calls?Solopreneurs stop sounding salesy when they shift from trying to convince someone to helping them self-evaluate. By asking thoughtful, emotionally driven questions and listening deeply, the call becomes a guided conversation instead of a pitch. This approach positions the solopreneur as a trusted authority, not a persuader.What's the best follow-up strategy if a prospect doesn't buy on the first call?Most prospects don't buy on the first call, and that's normal. A strong follow-up strategy treats the second call as a continuation—not a chase. By maintaining leadership, referencing prior conversations, and removing urgency pressure, solopreneurs can increase conversions without sounding needy or desperate.

To celebrate the old bird/broad role models who've appeared on The Shift with Sam Baker, I'll be rerunning some of these conversations throughout December and into January. Next up, screenwriting legend Lynda La Plante... ---- My guest this week is a woman who - to coin a bit of 1980s jargon - punched through the glass ceiling for women in TV, creating not just one but a series of female lead characters who broke the mould. And not just any old female lead but OLDER female leads. There would be no Happy Valley or Scott & Bailey if it wasn't for Lynda La Plante's groundbreaking creation, detective Jane Tennison, brought to life by Helen Mirren. The BAFTA and Emmy award winning screenwriter of Prime Suspect, Widows and many other hit TV shows, Lynda has written 43 bestselling books, including the young Tennison series - the latest of which is Unholy Murder - that takes Jane Tennison back to the 80s as she battles to break through in the macho Met.  Lynda is now 78 and it's 30 years since her groundbreaking creation hit our small screens (back when there were only four channels and primetime telly really mattered). But Lynda started out as a dyslexic drama student who, she says, was “too short and plain” to get good parts. Lucky for us, she decided to try her hand at writing them instead. Lynda tells me what it was really like to be a woman in TV in the 80s and 90s (and noughties!), the humiliation that shaped her, how she learnt not to let things get to her and why you should always always ALWAYS read the small print! She has a few things to say about contemporary crime TV drama, but this is a bit of a masterclass for any wannabe crime writers. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org⁠. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
