Doesn't the executive branch have some authority regarding FTC and FCC? There's also truth in advertising. Individuals and companies don't have a right to buy air time and say whatever they want without repercussion. I think

I pay $25k/year for family insurance with high deductible, and no pre-existing conditions. Negotiated prices paid by insurance actually are pretty good, but could be even better with the price transparency that will come about with Tru

Your assumption of $150k for chemotherapy treatment is exaggerated, especially in light of Trump's executive order to try to get price transparency at the level of actual insurance reimbursement. $25k/year over ten years is $250,0

If I can pay the negotiated rate, I'm leaving the health insurance marketplace altogether and self-insuring. Why pay $20k+ per year in premiums when I can just save and invest that and pay low prices when needed?

Why are you attributing water deficit with climate change? Increasing atmospheric water vapor leads to larger storms, floods, and overabundance of ground water. India's problem is overconsumption and population excess. Until India is a
