Ours is going from $460 to $2160 for two people and the deductibles went up too. But at least it paid for preventative care. The private insurance we'll have to get won't or prescriptions.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

The Idaho Medical Freedom Act makes it illegal to require anyone to take a vaccine or receive “medical intervention.”
After Leslie Manookian and her allies helped pass the ban on vaccine mandates, they have a new goal in sight: making the legislation a nationwide standard.

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.
But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.
You can’t negotiate with people like that.
