In today's edition of "The Commuter Cut," we talk with Jishnu Nair, a health care reporter for Houston Business Journal, about Houston Methodist joining a massive lawsuit against several major health insurance companies over alleged price fixing.

Then, we discuss the Supreme Court’s decision to allow Texas to use its controversial new congressional map in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, with State Representative Gene Wu, who joins us to share his views about this decision.
