Indeed. The word is also that a meaningful percentage of professional team bicycle racers want the Tour de France to start charging spectators to watch the race along the route.

The linchpins of the ACA were requiring coverage for pre-existing conditions and requiring that a young healthy cohort become insureds. That increased the covered lives and spread the risk and costs among a larger more balanced group of covered people. (Former hospital board chair here.)

It will be interesting to see if the drip, drip, drip ultimately does more harm to Trump than one big dump. It draws it all out with the "Epstein files" constantly in discussion.
