  • Update 2025-05-03 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator clarified the definition of "end" or "elimination":

    • The market tracks the termination of these programs, not the reduction of their services through partial defunding or handicapping.

    • Broadly, elimination means closing all offices and associated services.

    • If a program's stated functions are no longer being met, even if some components (like databases) persist elsewhere, it may resolve YES.

Specifically for Social Security:

  • Resolves YES if it no longer serves as a retirement savings account (collecting and distributing money), even if social security numbers/databases continue to exist as part of some other program.

Specifically for the Affordable Care Act (ACA):

  • Resolves YES if the following three conditions are met, even if associated protections are somehow retained:

    • The elimination of Medicaid eligibility expansion

    • Repealing premium tax credits and cost-sharing subsidies

    • Closing the Insurance Exchange
