Health plans welcome reforms to strengthen Medicare Advantage.

However, a proposal for flat program funding at a time of sharply rising medical costs

and high utilization of care will directly impact seniors' coverage.

If finalized, this proposal could result in benefit reductions and higher costs for 35 million

seniors and people with disabilities when they renew their Medicare Advantage

coverage in October 26. Learn more at AHIP.org.

Today on the Playbook podcast, Bad Bunny wins the Super Bowl, and the president hated every minute.

Gielane Maxwell testified to Congress this morning on the Epstein Files and why another big

court case in Minnesota is kicking off another big week on immigration.

Hello, I'm Jack Blanchard.

And I'm Kyle Cheney, and it is Monday the 9th of February.

Kyle, thank you so much for joining us. It's great to have you on the show. Great to be with you. For those of you that don't know, and you all already know who Carl Cheney is, but for the two of you, we've only just tuned into politics over the first time. Carl Cheney is, of course, our expert legal watcher. We've got him on the podcast for the first time in ages because there's some big legal stuff happening today. And that's why we've got Kyle and Carl. It's great to have you on through expertise. I'm just going to talk for one minute about the Super Bowl before we get on to the legal stuff because I'm sure it's one of the main thing that everyone is going to be talking about this morning. morning not the football which was kind of, you know, but the half-time show, of course, was the big story, right? Bad Bunny, well, you know, America somewhat divided on this, but Bad Bunny gave a raucous performance,

very much a celebration of Latino culture and very much a message of unity for the people

of the Americas.

He was cheering every nation in the Americas and talked about the unity of the continent.

Kyle, the president, was not impressed.

Were you surprised to see him posting on truth how much he hated the whole thing?

Well, I surprised, no.

What I think was surprising about it was how much it actually juxtaposed what we actually saw on the halftime show, which was not the sort of polarizing and divisive message. I think some people expected we might see. And so the president's message kind of a little discordant with that. It seemed like he maybe had that in his mind before he saw the show. Yeah, it didn't quite chime with the way my buddy

approached it. Anyway, there'll be lots, lots more chat about that today, of course, and people

will be picking through the show and the reactions to it. But we're going to pick through something

else today because it's a big day in terms of the Epstein files for two reasons. Elaine Maxwell
