Democrats are screaming “protect healthcare!”—but the brawl is over juiced Obamacare subsidies that never went away after COVID. In this episode:
- How Biden supercharged subsidies and why both parties use fake “expiration dates” as an accounting gimmick
- Subsidies up to 400% of the poverty line—and what that does to premiums and politics
- The eye-popping math: ~$3.45/week at 100% FPL (taxpayers cover ~98%) and ~$52/week at 250% FPL (taxpayers cover ~⅔)
- Why 40% of fully subsidized enrollees had zero claims—insurers still get paid
- Workers ditching employer plans for free/cheap exchange plans—and the $450B price tag to extend this for a decade
