Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

How stupid are these people?

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Come on, man.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

So many bastards, so little time.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Books are my comfort food!

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Now let’s hope that they Silver Gap instead of Silver Spam themselves so that more people can get good deals.

There are two counties, one each in Wisconsin and Ohio, where there are no announced insurers for the Exchange. I am betting with no inside knowledge that someone will take these orphans on. They should be able to monopoly price with almost no pushback from the state insurance commissioner and choose their own risk pool by product offering choices.

This is what happens when state regulators give a damn. Good work Centene. Good work Gov. Sandoval.

    Thanks for the post, David. Always nice to see good news.

    What happens when they don’t?

    Maybe if the party of free market stops causing deliberate chaos in the markets, we won’t have these potential crises in the future.

    Looking at the map, the county in Wisconsin is a very tough battle. It’s a tiny county – a former Indian reservation converted to a county in the reformist early 70s, filled with native Americans and a few retirees. I guess the good news is the number of uninsured from that gap probably measure in the hundreds – Medicaid, even at Wisconsin’s ridiculous ceiling, Medicare, and the casino employers will cover the vast majority in that county.

    Centene has been building skyscrapers (another one under construction in St. Louis/Clayton, MO), building claims processing centers (one built in Ferguson, MO in response to the Mike Brown riots), and hiring boatloads of folks since the ACA was passed. A huge job creator by taking advantage of evil government regulation. I know David says they are not the best insurance company in the world, but they have brought jobs to poor brown folks (and a lot of rich white one’s too).

    Please remember to tell us when someone steps in to cover those two counties in Ohio and Wisconsin. Well, TBH, I’m only interested in Ohio.

    @Ohio Mom: I didn’t really have any interest in the Wisconsin county before reading what dollared wrote. It was just a data point, now it sounds like an interesting place. It’s fascinating what obscure info you can learn here.
