For those wondering why I posted a thread about this last night, this is why.
There's a LOT of people who seem to think that either a) the entire ACA is ending or b) ALL of the ACA tax credits are expiring. NEITHER IS THE CASE.

Do all ACA subsidies expire or only the enhanced subsidies passed post-COVID expire on 12/31/25? Asking for my adult kids, who both get insurance from ACA.

50 years ago today, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior during a violent storm. From 1958-75, this Great Lakes freighter carried iron ore from Duluth to Detroit, Toledo, and other Great Lakes ports. Today, we remember and honor the life and legacy of the 29 souls lost.

There's a billboard on North Avenue that two sign companies are disputing ownership of so neither of them have been able to sell ad space on it for like a decade and it's now the people's billboard. It's the most pure Baltimore vibe check possible and Baltimore is apparently having a rough month

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.
