Update: 2025-12-11
Description
Healthcare sticker shock has turned into a political crisis, exposing Republican chaos and empty fixes. This condensed 2-minute summary (original 12 minutes) with hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti breaks down why Obamacare premium spikes matter, which Republican proposals surfaced—HSAs, PBM reform, price transparency—and why short-term checks (like Trump’s $1,500 plan) miss the mark. Learn the real cost drivers: decades of healthcare inflation, rising comorbidities, physician debt and compensation, and massive administrative overhead in a for-profit insurance market. Hear how the scramble is reshaping primaries and pushing voters toward big ideas like a public option or Medicare-for-All. Clear, fast, and focused on policy, politics, and economics. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
