Someone with a better understanding needs to explain to me please.
Open enrollment for ACA is ongoing.
We still apply for subsidies.
If one “buys” coverage now, at the price listed… does it continue at that price monthly for 2026 or will the price increase in January when the subsidies expire?

So… when ACA came out, everyone was forced to get health insurance or pay a steep fine on their taxes for being uninsured.
Does anyone know if that tax fine is still part of it?
Another thing to think about as millions are forced out of health insurance.

Miasma Theory…
If it smells bad, there’s disease present and we should do something about it.
If it smells okay, it’s fine and leave it alone.
So how did Civil War era medical staff treat bad smells? Decent ventilation and powerful smells to “disinfect” the air.

I just got confirmation that National History Day, a program that does more to ignite K-12 students' love of history, learning, and yes, even the United States than anything else I've ever seen, had all its funding cut yesterday by the DOGE-axe at the NEH - including for this year's ongoing contest.

What’s up?
Erasure! That’s what!
The Party wants to control the narrative, both in current events and HISTORY.
This cannot stand!
