Health care rates and deadlines can vary widely from state to state, so shopping around can pay off.
CBS News is a case study in the kind of slanted media environment MAGA is building.
The erosion of trust accelerates when “neutral” platforms quietly absorb partisan premises.
Susan J. Demas, Sam Osterhout, and Charles Gaba anchor a conversation that treats media power, healthcare policy, and democratic erosion as interlocking systems rather than isolated problems. The throughline isn’t outrage, but exposure: how subtle shifts in framing, incentives, and silence do as much damage as overt propaganda. What emerges is a picture of governance where billionaires don’t need to win arguments if they can redefine the audience and narrow the range of acceptable questions. Healthcare becomes the clearest stress test, because bureaucratic friction and expired subsidies translate instantly into fear, confusion, and loss. The discussion ultimately insists that attention itself is a form of participation, and that refusing distorted premises is one of the few remaining levers citizens still control.
