My sister's COBRA was expiring. She was pregnant, and no company would sell her health insurance. It was a nightmare.
The ACA abolishing the ability to refuse to cover people is HUGE.

It may be a sign that I'm getting old but it seems incredible to me how fast people forgot about (or never learned about) the whole "pre-existing conditions" thing.
If you lost a job the only way to ensure you didn't lose coverage entirely was a expensive program named after a deadly snake (COBRA).

Brilliant episode of always great podcast. Biggest testament to Fogarty’s talent is his career survived the ‘help’ from Saul- the first band name, the Russian hats.

It’s Anthology Day!
The Beatles Anthology returns to Disney+ today, as fresh and engaging as it was when it first launched in 1995. But the real draw - for fans old and new - is the bonus Episode 9.
I spoke to director Oliver Murray for The Daily Beast.

There is no reason to go shopping tonight. Don’t encourage these companies that are totally cool making their employees leave their families and friends to go in so you can get 30% off a fucking toaster oven.

Individually purchased health insurance is priced much higher than that purchased by a group (employer, government, etc.)
Medical procedures are priced much higher for individuals than insurance companies.
This is cancelling someone's Costco card and telling them to buy the same stuff at 7-11.
