Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Bark louder, little dog.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Enrollment Changes from 2016 to 2017 on Healthcare.gov

CMS just released the 2017 final Open Enrollment changes. As expected, they declined. We expected between a 4.3% and 6.0% decrease due to President Trump’s executive order as before his inauguration, Healthcare.gov and the state based exchanges were both running even to slightly ahead of 2016 pace and then they cratered in the last eleven days.

I’ve embedded a public Tableau that looks at the county level changes of enrollment for states that were on Healthcare.gov in both 2016 and 2017. This is primarily a test case of me playing with a new presentation tool but I want you to play with it too. The tool is below the fold. Select the state and it should recalculate and recalibrate.

Updated to reflect percentage change

    Ummmm, is there a way to get the % change? I’m clicking but can’t make heads or tails out of the absolute numbers.

    @Paul W.: Not yet, I need to get other things done today before updating this very early pilot play around.

    Don’t know if this is already a “dead thread” but i’d love to know how whstvyou rhubkbif Al Giordano’s twitter TL on why it’s harder than the GOP thought to “repeal” ACA

    1. The main reason Republicans are quickly choking on their proposed repeal of Obamacare is that it was so well constructed for this moment.

    @David Anderson: I appreciate the effort, but Tufte would not be kind.

    The color-bar is apparently showing decimal ratio changes, not percent changes. E.g Gwinette County. -5000 from 80,000 is about 5%, not about 0.05.

    Thanks.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    Can you recommend a way to get a relatively unassailable estimate of how many people would lose coverage in one congressional district? There’s a site called acasignups that has estimates, but I can’t get the page to load.

    Could be my net connection… the little critters running data packets up and down the intertubes don’t like the cold or something.

    @Lyrebird: The ACASignups.Net Congressional District Page is working here for me.

    HTH.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    @Another Scott: Oh completely agree, this is not a Tufte chart — this is me trying to organize my thinking and you get the very rough drafts
