Example: Vermont farmer's premium potentially jumps from $900/month to $3,200/month.

Proposed features: two-year extension, income caps, copays, fraud penalties for insurers.WARN: Critical dependency identified: President Donald J. Trump's explicit approval is REQUIRED for this legislation to proceed.      
Rationale: President Trump possesses 'root access' over the Republican majority in both House and Senate.
DEBUG: Current status suggests a political deadlock, awaiting TRUMP_APPROVAL_STATE = true;.ERROR: House also has a separate bipartisan effort via discharge petition. Multiple threads, no mutex. Potential for race condition.
