I don't agree that your hypothetical problems aren't already a reality, including the 8-12% income bit. If you include my employers share then insurance is higher than that for me now.

I assume everybody has seen this graph before but just in case not: bsky.app/profile/omeg...

I DO have to see a PCP before I can see a specialist. And then I wait 2-4 weeks for an "auth" to see a specialist that isn't taking new patients or is out on maternity leave, or retired 6 months ago...

Does this motherfucker think we get to see specialists without talking to PC first

My Grampa and his FOUR brothers were all ANTIFA. They fought in WWII against Nazis just like the ones we are dealing with now.

STAY STRONG INDIANA - KEEP FIGHTING - FELON TRUMPS GOING DOWN-WE THE PEOPLE ARE WITH YOU! 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

After Biden passed the infrastructure bill, he allotted more money to red states with no strings attached. When asked why he did that, he said they need it the most. Compare that to the 'democracy terrorists' in power now who seek to openly cheat at every opportunity. They have abandoned democracy

Gonna need to ask @merriam-webster.com whether failing to obtain a true bill from a grand jury after multiple attempts is called a “Halligan” or a “Pirro” or both.

I’m not represented by these people. My representatives despise these people. Unfortunately they are in the minority in both the house and senate. Except in my state, and CA is going after Trump from Gov down.

Absolutely defamation

Ya, I’m not going to buy that appendicitis surgery because it’s too expensive…

Congress and SCOTUS allowing the regime to do as they wish, without any consequences, is openly treasonous. There is no federal guardrails anymore! Governors/Mayors must exert sovereignty and protect its people from the illegitimate federal invaders. Activate state and municipal forces NOW!

maybe America has always been like this, it's just that it's now in the open,no longer covered up.

Give a man a fake peace prize, you get fake peace.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left. And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

JFC. The weakening of America continues.

Seriously Pete? They are too power hungry to vote no.

They believe their role as journalists is to mutely observe, take notes, and report. They lack a sense of responsibility to each other or to their fellow citizens.

This is a pretty stunning admission, he doesn't appear to know how group insurance works. Toyota/GM don't buy insurance, employers of that size are self-funded. They pay United or Aetna for admin services, but they pay for the actual health care themselves (with some catastrophic/stop-loss coverage)

Let me distill the whole Marjorie Taylor Green story down to the basic truth… “I was all in for the hatred, the punching down, the racism, the bigotry, the cruelty … until it affected me.”

Not enough coffee, but a major M7.6 earthquake near Hokkaido. No US Tsunami risk at this time, but apparently up to 1m tsunami possible on the coasts of Japan. #japan #earthquake #tsunami TSUNAMI INFORMATION STATEMENT NUMBER 1 NWS PACIFIC TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER HONOLULU HI 429 AM HST MON DEC […]

These were people already approved to be naturalized, yet they were stopped solely because of their countries of origin. MAGA keeps saying, “If they wanted to be in this country, they should have done it the right way.” Well, they did. And the administration still blocked them. Cruelty is the point.

Appreciate the continued focus @atrupar.com's 'Public Notice' team on the overt racism spewing from the president of the United States. It is vile, Nazi stuff that is now permeating not just Trump's press gaggles but official US govt policy. More pundits & news orgs need to cover it, too.

We're bringing in trillions in foreign investments.... All to ourselves.

Who cares about the video. We all know what happened. It was murder plain and simple. So arrest them already.

beautiful images!

This is a great explainer about the legality of the boat strikes. Or illegality, as it were. www.justsecurity.org/126156/exper...

You can order the slings on Amazon. I use one with a big dutch oven and it works great.

Visit Europe and walk through the cathedrals and huge palaces of Versailles, Shonbrunn, Madrid. Nothing has changed. We need a modern French Revolution. They won't give the money back, we have to take it back.

That's when you grab their shoulders, and say "walk forward 20 steps before somebody kicks your ass there for you"

In defense of the shoppers, TJs moves everything so often that unless you shop there weekly it can seem like you're in a totally different store. And the parking lots require you to put on your most comfy patience panties.

That's where the older relative should be escorted out the door and informed she can return when she truly values the new baby.

He's a Garbage President, a Garbage Husband, a Garbage Father, a Garbage Businessman and even a Garbage Golfer.

I will give him a peace prize. I hereby announce that he is a peace of shit.

The only remedy is to boycott FIFA events. Don't attend, don't watch on TV, don't buy their swag.

One year at our hospital several kids on our tree were asking for a bicycle. We pooled our $$ and bought them all bikes, helmets, and a lock. I think six in total. I hope the kids had a great Christmas morning. Poor kids shouldn't be left out of something special like that.

As a citizen, I find this morally reprehensible and I would like it to stop.

Saying they are “Narco Boats” with zero evidence. We honestly don’t know if Hegseth is just getting drunk and angry and blowing up random boats in some drunken rage. We honestly do not know. Because again. They offer no evidence. At this point he’s just murdering people.

Article II of the Constitution does not grant the President of the United States inherent authority to declare whoever he wants to be part of a foreign terrorist organization and to execute them without any process.

Time for her to sue. Brett Kavanaugh gave her the thumbs up to do so.

Are you kidding? They did it to buy cooperation from Trump re all the brown foreigners who will want to come for the World Cup. Soccer sold them out

It is shocking that in this great nation 2025, we have not been able to remove this dip shit in office and all his fleas. Congress should not be the only group of individuals who can remove a sitting president from office.. absolutely after this whole shit show we need some new laws absolutely.

I never did anyway
