U.S. inflation rose to 3.8% last month, driven largely by a 28.4% spike in energy prices linked to the ongoing conflict with Iran. Senator Patty Murray criticized the administration for spending $29 billion on what she termed a "war of choice," suggesting the funds could have saved ACA tax credits. President Trump maintained that high domestic prices would not influence his nuclear negotiations with the Iranian regime.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters reiterated her commitment to impeaching President Trump during an interview with The Young Turks. She claimed that Russia determined the outcome of the U.S. election and argued that she can focus on both the Russia investigation and preserving the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Waters' singular focus on impeachment is criticized as delusional and potentially harmful to the Democratic Party's broader goals.

### ACA Premium Hikes, 2016 Health Insurance Data

- **Episode:** [733: Fusion Cell](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/733-fusion-cell.md)
- **Published:** 2015-06-25
- **Time:** 1:48:58–1:52:28
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/733-fusion-cell/chapter/aca-premium-hikes-2016-health-insurance-data.md

Representative Peter Roskam presented data showing massive proposed health insurance premium increases for 2016. Insurers, now using a full year of Affordable Care Act claims data, are requesting hikes of up to 51% in some states like South Dakota. The hosts argue this contradicts the "false narrative" that the ACA would lower healthcare costs for the average American.
