youre killing me over here, Dianne

she has no clue that:

* the cost-sharing reductions are a complicated formula under which "these percentages apply over the whole group and will vary significantly across different enrollees; for some the plan will pay none of their costs and for others the plan may pay almost all of them."

* insurance/healthcare is still too expensive even with the CSRs in place, and when you get to the 3x multiplier for poor-ish olds, buying a silver plan with CSRs costs about twice as much as buying a lovely bronze plan and the 2 are pretty much a wash financially.

* medicare-for-all/single-payer doesn't mean "total takeover of healthcare by the government."

* that 80-some House members have co-sponsored the Medicare-for-All bill that Bernie's gonna bring to the Senate.

* that the ACA is pretty much dead anyway bc all five major insurers have pulled out of most markets this year or next and now one-third of all counties in the country only have one or two providers to choose from, bc enrollment in private plans is a pittance of what was once projected, and bc there was never any political will to make the mandate with $$$ teeth to get healthy young people to enroll.

but that's a bad dem for you: trying to smear more lipstick on the ACA pig.

I haven't seen Arkane post in a while so Cefte's probably still slumbering, waiting for the great evil to return.


7 loving years ago they were arguing about Iran's nuclear ambitions and Arkane just got murdered.

Or maybe it was Grover.

Well you've been good so if you really want I'll mention something about how charter schools are bullshit and/or global warming is real and summon Arkane to the thread.

Note: I will not actually do either of these things.
