You may remember the ripoff scam that is Christian Health Share Ministries from such episodes as OA497: Christian Health Sharing Is a Scam and OA530: Andrew Testifies to Congress on Christian Healthshare Ministries! Well, as a direct result of Andrew's House testimony, Rep. Jared Huffman has sponsored and introduced a new bill to fight back against this scam! It's H.R.8324 - Health Share Transparency Act of 2022. Rep. Huffman is also a co-founder of the Congressional Freethought Caucus! He joins us today to explain the bill.
Before that, I grill Andrew on the Secret Service deleted texts, with such questions as "what the f?" and "how the h?" There's a lot we can't know yet, but Andrew explains what we do know. Finally, we go through the first gun control legislation passed in two decades. It's good!

From my experience in IT support, I would put the likelihood of the Secret Service intentionally deleting those messages at around 70%. I live by the words "Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence". I can see scenarios where a 30 something dummy like me could delete those text messages while updating company phones but in order for that to happen there had to be more than 1 point of failure. For starters the phones of all agents involved on 1/6 should have been backed up and turned off in a box during January 2021.

I think CHSMs may just be the quintessential American stereotype thing. Antiregulationism, anti health care, wealth care, broken insurance industry, Christian fundamentalist controlling conartistry all rolled up into a deliberately built legislative loophole sized bundle...
