It’s a health insurance-driven economic time bomb. We talk about: ✅ How ACA tax credits fund insurance companies, not care ✅ Why premiums keep rising while care gets worse ✅ How the shutdown threatens banks, SNAP, and the military ✅ Why private equity and monopolies are quietly taking over ✅ The hidden cost of centralized power in finance and healthcare 💬 If YOU work in healthcare, banking, or the military—we want to hear from you.
