ACA Sticker Shock, Student Loan Chaos, and AI in Space – Episode 166
Manage episode 521463637 series 3281815
In this episode of The Liquidity Event, AJ and Shane regroup after a failed recording attempt and dive straight into Thanksgiving chaos, rising ACA premiums, and the political fight over healthcare subsidies. Shane shares his 35% insurance shock while AJ breaks down what subsidy cuts mean for millions of Americans. They also explore the push to privatize federal student loans, Google's plan to run AI models in space, and why real estate inheritances are a wealth-management minefield. The episode wraps with estate-planning talk, holiday-table conversations no one wants to have, and a reminder that the U.S. tax and policy machine rarely chooses the simplest path.
