Olivia of Troye - Your Health Care Bill Is About to Explode

Something big is about to hit American families on January 1, and almost no one sees the full picture. As a predominantly national security expert, why do I care so much about this? Because I’ve spent my career connecting the dots to keep America safe, and this is one of those dots.

While headlines focus on affordability struggles and economic anxiety, the real crisis is happening in the shadows: health-care costs are about to surge across every system at once. Affordable Care Act (ACA) premiums are jumping by double digits, millions pushed off Medicaid remain without options, and employer plans face their biggest cost increase in more than a decade. Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing to strip IVF coverage from military families.

This is why people feel like they’re living in a recession: America keeps shifting more and more of the burden onto families already stretched to the breaking point.

This is the squeeze. And January is when it becomes visible.
