Welcome new followers!

I'm a healthcare policy analyst, advocate & blogger who focuses primarily on the ACA. I’ve also gained some attention for my COVID19 data analysis.

I also raise money online for Democratic candidates.

Before DOGE, systems meant to serve millions of people were being run by a few harried employees using outdated systems. And now, after DOGE, they are being run by even fewer, even more harried employees on those same outdated systems!
So, DOGE, What Would You Say You Did Here?

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

NEW: As President Trump increases pressure on Colorado Governor Polis to free Tina Peters, a close ally of Peters is calling for Gov Polis and Attorney General Weiser to be executed.

MAGA podcaster Joe Oltmann called for the execution of several Colorado Democrats by name.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

We’re proud to endorse Arizona Attorney General @krismayes.bsky.social in her run for reelection.

In 2022, she won by just 0.01% – less than 300 votes. A strong advocate for voting rights, reproductive freedom, and American consumers, we must get out the Jewish vote so she can serve a second term.
