Don’t forget the wind! I’m done with this mess

Mine is going from $307 to $1052. I understand your frustration.

$307 a month to $1052 a month for the same plan

That’s just awful. I don’t know what we’re supposed to do.

I’m a MA resident and received my ACA premium statement for 2026 in the mail today. I currently pay $370 a month and in 2026 my premium will be $1052 a month. I can’t afford that increase so I guess I go to the bare minimum plan and hope I don’t get sick. This should not be the state of health care.

It shouldn’t be this way. I understand completely what you are going through. I just got my 2026 premium and it is going from $370 (2025) to $1052 (2026) for just me. My husband gets his insurance through his retirement so we’ll see what his does.

it might not be the commencement speech you expected. but maybe it’s the commencement speech you needed. 🎓

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I just did the same thing. So disappointed.

Are there any protests scheduled in our area tomorrow?

Thanks for doing this, Eric. Very informative.

This boy makes even the most stressful times better. I wish humans were as kind and loving as he is.

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately Researchers say it would hurt facilities that work on medical issues such as cancer research and heart disease. Elon Musk contends the old policy was ‘a ripoff.’

Instead of cutting costs for working families, Donald Trump is slashing the federal investments that fund their lifesaving care, fuel their local economy, and lower their health care costs.

It’s cruel, short-sighted, and will cost jobs and devastate millions of families.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave representatives of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency full access to the federal payment system late on Friday, according to three people familiar with the change, handing Elon Musk and the team he is leading a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending. The new authority follows a standoff this week with a top Treasury official who had resisted allowing Mr. Musk’s lieutenants into the department’s payment system, which sends out money on behalf of the entire federal government. The official, a career civil servant named David Lebryk, was put on leave and then suddenly retired on Friday after the dispute, according to people familiar with his exit.

Musk and his allies are ransacking the federal treasury, gaining access to closely guarded payment systems that disburse trillions of dollars and hold massive amounts of incredibly sensitive information—including Social Security numbers. Just a terrifying development. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

That was my brother and me in the backseat of the car during family trips. Got to the point my parents put the cooler between us.

We all let Jimmy Carter down.
