Briefly, we have not gotten to the place where the impact of healthcare insurance cuts are going to occur. I suspect the impact will be devastating to many US citizens. July 2025, Republicans led by Trump passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, otherwise known as the budget reconciliation bill. The law, H.R. 1, has […]
More on the Trump administration’s effort to block immigrants from residing in the United States. In this instance, the Trump administration’s Homeland Security Secretary attempts to terminate the temporary protected status of immigrants living legally in the United States. The effort to do so is not gradual. It is an immediate termination of their legal […]
Briefly, just a quick and simple look as what contributes to total US healthcare spending. This is part of a much larger report: “How Has U.S. Health Care Spending Changed Over Time?” I find this part of the report to be interesting. But then, I was a consultant who was looking at throughput analysis. Very […]
Making the ACA marketplace plans a factor in economic issues is false as Andrew Sprung points out. The costs for marketplace ACA plans will experience similar inflation the same as employer plans. That is unless insurance companies jump on the bandwagon claiming the ACA plans are more expensive. This report is from mid-December. I would […]

The report splits its findings based upon age, severity, access to insurance, affordability, etc. Age is a large factor with those […]
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Milan? at the Olympics? Their presence at the Olympics in Milan is a distraction from the event. Italy’s civilian population is angrily protesting their presence. I can not imagine how the Immigration and Customs employees could get past detection. It is not going to take much (a faux pas) […]
A 2000 word read about Trump the president and his interface with Europe which was rather embarrassing for Americans. Threats, invasion threats, and tariff threats are all Trump knows in getting agreements with other countries. It is all he knows and is rather weak in making the threats I know for sure I will not […]
In the past I would list articles for Sunday reads which I thought might be interesting for Angry Bear readers. I believe these might be such. Just supplying a sentence or two for each article to pique your interest. Angry Bear gets no monetary reward for doing this. We just try to interest our readers. […]
The crisis in American healthcare is not who subsidizes insurance premiums. It is why the cost of healthcare keeps increasing beyond inflation and other costs. The bill to the patient is being driven higher due to hospital systems demanding reimbursement increases which outpaces inflation, wages, and economic growth.
