Summary

Independent medical practice is under siege, according to Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC). Murphy, a practicing physician for over 30 years, joins the Rundown to discuss the "explosion" of insurance claim denials and the "destruction of medicine" caused by what he calls vertical integration and the corporate takeover of healthcare. He breaks down the GOP’s plan to restore marketplace competition, the debate over Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, and why he believes the current system prioritizes corporate profit over medical necessity. TikTok is set to remain in the U.S. following a deal granting American entities majority ownership, ending the immediate threat of a nationwide ban. But does this restructuring resolve concerns over data privacy and the safety of young users? Cybersecurity expert John Cofrancesco joins to discuss whether the deal addresses the national security risks that sparked the ban, the legal battles over social media addiction, and the race to outpace China in artificial intelligence. Plus, commentary by FOX News contributor Tom Shillue. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
