Steve Moore interviews Phil Kerpen of American Commitment to critique the current state of the U.S. healthcare system and the legislative efforts surrounding Obamacare subsidies. The conversation centers on the lack of price transparency and competition within the medical market, arguing that consolidation among hospital systems and a lack of consumer shopping have driven costs to unsustainable levels. Kerpen highlights a significant conflict in Congress, where some Republicans recently joined Democrats to extend subsidies without including anti-fraud measures or structural reforms, despite evidence of widespread identity discrepancies in enrollment.
