America’s Health Care: Affordability, AI, & Politics 11/21/25

Affordable Care Act health insurance premiums expire on December 31st, but Congress has yet to come to a bipartisan agreement on policy ahead of that deadline. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) explains his party’s strategy and the affordability crisis for many Americans. Former CEO of the Cleveland Clinic Dr. Toby Cosgrove has hope for AI’s impact on health care costs; he discusses the future of hospitals and medical innovation. Plus, leaders in the industry have penned a concerned letter to President Trump, the HHS, and the FDA about rare disease research and investment. Outside of health care, President Trump will lower tariffs on some Argentinian food products, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will work with the U.S. on a peace plan between Russia and Ukraine.
