Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Republicans in disarray!

Giving up is unforgivable.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

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

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

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

I really should read my own blog.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

The revolution will be supervised.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

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

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Risk adjustment update

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) received an interim final rule from Health and Human Services (HHS) regarding the retrospective justification of the risk adjustment process in the ACA:

 

 

This is good news.

I have not been too worried about the risk adjustment suspension. My concern-o-meter had been at 3% for the past two weeks. Everyone who I have talked to who is clued in with CMS has said that the risk adjustment hold was highly likely to be temporary and it was the results of internal idiosyncratic processes and not deliberate policy to mess up the market.

The easiest solution to the entire mess would be for an interim final rule to be issued that basically copies and pastes the NBPP2019 risk adjustment language for previous years. That is what looks like is happening.

    “Interim final rule?”

    It seems like there can be interim rules, and there can be final rules, but how can an interim rule be a final rule?

    They should steal a term from software development, where (when we think we’re getting close) we have “release candidate” versions. “Proposed final rule” would be better. Even though there are probably already such things as “proposed rules.”
