Jeremiah Bates and Alex Lundgren team up with Steve Marsh from Medical Plans of Idaho to unpack a huge issue looming over millions of Americans — the potential expiration of enhanced premium tax credits under the American Rescue Act. With these provisions set to sunset after 2025, many could see premiums spike by 75–80% going into 2026!

They explain what the "400% federal poverty level" threshold means for your wallet, who's most at risk, and what you can do now to prepare. The discussion dives into both individual health plans and Medicare, including the major changes to Advantage plans in Idaho — from disappearing zero-premium options to how retirees can use this year's guaranteed issue window to upgrade coverage.

The hosts also share proactive tax and income planning strategies — from HSA contributions and 401(k) deductions to managing self-employment income — that could make or break your eligibility for crucial tax credits.
