Donald Trump will respond to public pessimism about affordability by making health care even less affordable.
Part of the paradox of "affordability," rising real wages but great pessimism from families, could be a mis-measurement of the rate of healhtcare inflaiton people see deanbaker22.substack.com/p/affordabil...

Media outlets that dismissed evidence of past bubbles dismiss evidence that there is a bubble now.
Sometimes you wonder. Bloomberg this morning saying that you can't both believe that AI is a big deal and that we're in a bubble. But you absolutely can! That's exactly the story of the tech bubble of the 90s, major economic impact but not big profits. Sigh.
