Nothing says “organic support” like a dozen Cabinet officials posting the same adjectives, same cadence, same talking points within hours. Truly inspiring to see so many leaders independently discover the phrase “steady under pressure” on the exact same day.

Scale helps only with mandatory risk pools. Costco can’t force enrollment, set hospital prices, or tax-subsidize care. Without those levers, a “Costco plan” is just a rebranded insurer not cheaper healthcare.
