We Knew What He Was Going to Say.
We've Had the Solution for Over a Decade.
Published: Saturday, February 21, 2026 · 3 days before the SOTU
Tonight, the President will address the nation. He will speak to his base — the working class,
the uninsured, the economically abandoned. He'll tout TrumpRx and HSAs for the wealthy.
He may revisit the Great Healthcare Plan — the one that already came and went without delivering.
He will offer his people solutions that don't reach them.
We built one that does. Published three days ago. Before the speech.
Here's the math he won't mention — and what Congress must actually do.

What He'll Say Tuesday — And the Math He Won't Show
We're publishing this Saturday. Before the speech. So you can hold the record.
TrumpRx will lower prescription drug costs. MFN drug pricing. HSAs will give Americans control over their healthcare dollars. The Great Healthcare Plan will deliver.
Premiums were too high under Biden. We're lowering costs and restoring competition.
We're protecting people with pre-existing conditions and expanding access to care.
We honor those who served. We're reforming the VA to make it more efficient.
America is booming. Jobs are up. Inflation is down. The big beautiful bill delivers.
TrumpRx is a website. PHIERS is a cooperative — 100M people with collective buying power. MFN drug pricing works when backed by real market leverage. Will Price worked with Al Wilson on cooperative purchasing the same year MFN was floated. Mark Cuban's Cost Plus proved the model. PHIERS gives that leverage to everyone, not just the wealthy with HSAs. The Great Healthcare Plan already came. It was a dud.
ACA premiums are up 114% in 2026 vs 2025. Enhanced tax credits expired. 4.8M people losing coverage. $600/yr telehealth vs $10,000+/yr insurance. That's the actual math.
The Big Beautiful Bill cut $1 trillion from health insurance over a decade. tens of millions have lost coverage or been priced out. Congress has authority right now to authorize $600 telehealth on the ACA exchange.
30,000 VA staff fired. Disability ratings tied to medication this week. The largest military buildup since Iraq underway while the VA is being dismantled. More than 20M veterans get zero from the VA.
More people experiencing homelessness than ever recorded. Job growth lower under Trump than Biden's final year. Healthcare costs are the #1 driver of personal bankruptcy. PHIERS saves $2.73T annually.
The Solution That Predates the Crisis
PHIERS isn't a response to Trump. It isn't a response to DOGE. It isn't a response to the VA disability rule this week or the Iran buildup this weekend. All of those things happened on schedule. The math pointed here years ago.
While Congress debated and insurance companies consolidated and drug prices climbed, PHIERS was solving each dimension of the crisis as it emerged — five solutions to five systemic failures, built over time, tested in the field, documented in the record:
5D Solutions — Each One Predating the Emergency It Addresses
Universal Coverage — $600/yr telehealth on the ACA exchange covers 80% of what Americans actually need. Not someday. Congress has the authority today.
Drug Pricing — PHIERS cooperative purchasing with 100M members creates real MFN leverage. Will Price worked with Al Wilson on this exact model the same year MFN drug pricing was being floated in Washington. Mark Cuban proved it at Cost Plus. PHIERS scales it for everyone.
Jobs & Small Business — Every PHIERS node is a local small business with social impact. The coverage cascade creates employment in every district simultaneously. Universal care doesn't destroy jobs — it creates them at the community level.
Veterans — PHIERS has honored the national commitment to veterans since 2009, when the Maryland Veterans Administration and Patriot Medical Transport Systems launched what became the longest-running veterans coordinated care program of its kind in the nation. We didn't start caring about veterans this week.
Telehealth Infrastructure — The coordination of care, health IT, decision support, and transportation logistics that PHIERS pioneered for veterans in 2014 is the exact infrastructure that makes $600 universal coverage viable at national scale.
The Cascade That Makes It Unstoppable
One conversion frees $7,400+ in savings. That funds 12 more. Those 12 fund 148. Those 148 fund 1,825. The cascade becomes mathematically unstoppable — which is exactly why Congress hasn't authorized it.
"This isn't ideology. This isn't hope. This is arithmetic. And arithmetic doesn't care who's in the White House."
— Will Price, Chief Solutions Architect, PHIERSWe Are At a Breaking Point
You don't need a speech to tell you how things feel.
You feel it when groceries cost more. You feel it when insurance goes up again. You feel it when the people who grow the food are treated like disposable labor. You feel it when Washington argues while you figure out how to pay for prescriptions.
We are told everything is fine.
It's not fine.
And if leadership thinks people will just absorb the pressure quietly — they don't understand the country anymore.
No Kings means no one rules over the people without answering to them. Not through fear. Not through division. Not through constant distraction.
If the future being built leaves working families scrambling, then we build a different one.
Not with riots. Not with chaos. With structure.
PHIERS is not anger. It's leverage.
- If the system won't lower healthcare costs — we organize and lower them ourselves.
- If the safety net weakens — we strengthen it together.
- If the dollar shakes and supply chains strain — we build resilience locally.
This isn't left or right.
This is survival with dignity.
We are not trying to destroy the country. We are trying to stabilize it.
And if leaders deliver real relief — we support it.
If they don't — we organize around what works.
That's peaceful. That's powerful. That's the yin.
