Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Let’s finish the job.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

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

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

No one could have predicted…

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

I really should read my own blog.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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.”
