So, the point is just wrong if what they are talking about is the "fraud" rules, work requirements, and premium increases.
Also actual death spirals are unlikely. Though if you disenroll people a portion of the newly uninsured will have major medical events, go into debt, skimp on care, die, etc
FWIW, it's the healthy people that stop paying premiums when enhanced subsidies expire.
That's the point being made by the "death spiral." That as more healthy people leave, it could create a vicious cycle of premium increases and dropping enrollment until you hit the point of nonviability.
Nice! The Florence one?
Using funemployment to go to Florence & The Machine and Hayley Williams concerts in the same week.
These tickets never would have been affordable for this small a venue if the label or ticketmaster set the price.
Not to point fingers, but maybe religious shaming (think Catholic guilt) should focus less on sex and more on saying something crazy confidently
the thing that's so unbelievably weird about this is that it's a dogwhistle against the culture that invented algebra
I mean several of these events were streamed by national and state parties. The White House. At times places likes ABC News.
The problem is it was on YouTube rather than on analogous front page news.
At this point I want the court packed out of spite
Anyone telling you ACA plan costs are out of control without comparing it to employer plan costs is making a glaring error
Youngstown, Ohio shows up everywhere
I think I can say that everyone in The Pitt seems like they've been to therapy, and that's the most unrealistic part of the show.
These people should be a little meaner to each other under the wire imo.
I've only been to one in the long long ago of 2009, and it was one of the best things I've dropped money on for entertainment
Jumping from Bruce Springsteen, Phish, Snoop Dogg, the Beastie Boys, the Mars Volta, to NIN in one festival.
The musical acts this year look solid, ngl
Just look at recent state welfare expansions like 3K, paid leave, CTCs, EITCs, etc.
All done with balanced budget requirements.
I think most of the income and wealth growth is the top 20% or top 10%. And that tends to be where inflation is when you look at things like housing spending.
So if you offset welfare expansions with taxing that high income group, you should be fine.
I also don't think expansions are impossible.
Replacing the Senate with a jury selection system and making it analogous to the House of Lords or French Senate wouldn't be terrible
I do kinda wish there were more little subplots on getting people to switch to a generic med since sometimes they act like there's no sub. And you could still do the "that generic was trash and didn't work" stuff...
New Scrubs also handled this well where even after spending a lot of time with a patient rationing meds the best they could do is give them a few months of samples.
The Pitt goes through these annoying "Love it or Hate it" loops on here, but I gotta say I love the fidelity to how health coverage actually works.
The "now that you are disabled from your diabetes going out of control, you qualify for Medicaid" subplot is legit.
Having 2-3 weeks between jobs really is the peak of getting to chill and be financially secure
I'm loving this ngl
Lots of hyperpolarization that gets hidden
this should be the opposition rallying cry in every country where fascists have been ascendant

DC really lacks the Tex Mex that's plentiful anywhere in California.
Not that shocking to say, but man that shit hits the spot!
Defunding the ACA to pay for the war in Iran was the most on the nose "they don't give a fuck about you" proposal I've seen so far
