I had two children on my private plan as a self employed female
Couldn’t get maternity coverage
Both pregnancies had to pay full uncovered costs
Which the cost of made it impossible to not immediately return to work to pay
These men don’t get it

What makes those of us without corporate donor dollars to sit behind the bench is, it’s one thing to be ignorant of the big game in DC when you aren’t really a player; but when you are feigning so much ignorance to reality when you are on the starting line up… these senators are throwing the game.

I am so sorry and so with you. My private plan, already went up Oct 1. One parent, one college student. $2695 with huge deductible, and 20% copay on top. Unsustainable.

Scott Jennings lack of self awareness and lack of understanding of these moments in history just feels like daily last ditch tossing in the kitchen sink efforts to cling to society that benefited the few…. aka… him. Someday. Pundits will again broker in reality.

Sarah Kendzior long ago nailed the reality of the orange jello administration’s existence as a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government.

The threats were made last month, as the U.S. maneuvered to block a new effort to tax pollution at a meeting of the International Maritime Organization in London.

National delegates were threatened with personal consequences if they went against Washington.

Trump mafia style diplomacy.

This long long long since teen is not just saddened by this but certain us ladies need an actionable response to find a new landing for this staff/ contributors quickly.

As a reader, not a writer, and many thousands moons beyond a teen. The demand remains for the content as one of the few firing on this level. In both the target audience and the rest of us impressed with the work. There has to be some thinking to find/create a landing pad?

Old ass mom/grandmom here, this is a damning loss. For readers and for writers. Nothing shy of impressed by their content and have felt for years was a terrific submission target for women with a voice. Seriously, this team and leadership needs an reader organized plan B optional landing. Ideas?
