Description

Johnny shares insights from his recent trip to Washington, D.C. with Health Agents for America. He breaks down the critical discussions on Capitol Hill about expiring enhanced tax credits, why the timeline for action is tighter than most realize, and how a potential 40% increase in premiums could spiral the insurance market if Congress waits too long.


We also dive into the looming government shutdown, the partisan tug-of-war between permanent vs. temporary extensions, and how broader issues like pharmaceutical costs, Medicaid changes, and immigration debates are being folded into the negotiations.


Johnny gives listeners a front-row look at conversations with lawmakers, the real risks if nothing is done, and why both sides secretly want a resolution—if leadership will just let it move forward.


Stay tuned until the end for ways you can get help with your own coverage questions.
