What this episode covers
In this episode, Jenny Beth Martin sits down with Dr. Brian Blase, President of the Paragon Health Institute, for a deep dive into Obamacare’s structural failures, skyrocketing costs, and the explosion of subsidy fraud in recent years. Dr. Blase explains why premiums and deductibles continue to rise, how “phantom enrollees” cost taxpayers an estimated $35 billion, and how COVID-era subsidy expansions created powerful incentives for abuse within the health insurance exchanges. He also exposes longstanding problems inside Medicaid—including financing rules that reward overspending, enable money-laundering schemes, and harm the vulnerable populations the program was meant to serve. This episode lays out a clear, actionable roadmap for healthcare reform and explains why fixing these programs is essential to protecting taxpayers, restoring choice, and securing America’s fiscal future.
