Republican health plan.
Take lower quality health insurance = SAVE MONEY (get less services with a higher deductible)
Give Americans $1k- $2k to help pay for the new higher ($5k) deductible that you are now saddled with as an HSA.
Voila. If nothing happens and you need nothing. LOWER PRICES.

Understand that the Halligan thing is 100% Pam Bondi's fuck-up. She could have appointed Halligan Special Attorney and this thing would still be alive.
So it's not just that HALLIGAN is an incompetent bigot.
It's that Bondi is too.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?
