And yet, so many of these people either don't vote at all or vote fascist.

And don't even get vaccinated! How on earth that ever became an issue is a mystery to me. It took thousands of years to develop medical science and then, like 10, to reject it.

I used to think Biden's biggest mistake was not believing Anita Hill and allowing the Oreo on the supreme court.

Since his presidency, I've had to revise my opinion on his biggest mistake to his naming Merrick Garland as his AG. If Garland hadn't spent at least his first year sleeping on the job. the entire United States would not have to suffer through the absolutely worst ever four-year-regime in history, because the orange dumpster would not be where he is now.

I so stuck up for him during that Garland stuff. I was wrong. I misjudged Joe because I was desperate to have a solution.

Yup, you, me and a whole bunch of voters.

A really sad situation that all Americans aren’t offered an insurance plan they can afford. My husband and I are paying an extra $200 per month for our health insurance. This is because his employer changed the plan we had to a plan that was only for single people with dependents but they didn’t replace the one we had with something else.

I have no issues with them offering a plan for single people with or without dependents but ours should have been replaced with something comparable to what we had.

Under Republicans, we should call it "Affordable Care for the Fortunate Act" or ACFA. I am fortunate to be able to afford the ACA subsidies by keeping my income low through non-taxable savings (not an option for most people). If I had a chronic illness or cancer, I would expect to pay $13,000 this year in premiums, deductible, and out-of-pocket costs. Mind you, this is a "fortunate" scenario. If my illness extended into next year, I would again face similar costs. And the year after that....

Details about having a gold or bronze plan, at least within the same network, don't really matter when a person needs a lot of health care services--the amount in premiums, deductibles and out-of-pocket costs is similar for use of health care services up to the out-of-pocket costs. Since I'm in good health, I benefit from having a bronze plan because my premiums are relatively low and the deductible rarely applies. So I'm fortunate in not needing much health care, but I don't count on this. If I did, I probably wouldn't buy insurance.

Premium tax credits helped many afford health insurance, including my nephew who had cancer. It is just cruel and ridiculous to take away our tax money for the already wealthy and corporations.
