Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Be a wild strawberry.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

The never-ending story (CSR version)

This post is in: 

Cost Sharing Reduction (CSR) litigation is the story that will never end.

The back story is that when the Trump Administration terminated CSR payments in October 2017, many states, led by California sued.  The district judge identified that most states used a Silver Loading or Silver Switching strategy to minimize harm so the termination could continue as harm was not shown.

Since then, Silver Loading has been allowed to continue for 2018 and 2019.  There is a possibility that Silver Loading will not be allowed via rule-making for 2020.  The judge has dismissed the case without prejudice which means that if Silver Loading is terminated, a harm can be identified.

It will never end.

    Thanks for the update. This info never makes it into the news, it seems to be only available here.

    And those of us in WV, where silver-loading did not happen in 2018 (so premiums across all metal bands were higher), are screwed yet again. Our Attorney General is Republican Patrick Morrisey, a slease-wad who would *never* go to bat for lowly citizen-constituents. He is, in fact, running this year against incumbent Democratic Senator Joe Manchin in a bid to relieve us of our last remaining federal Democrat.

    @David Anderson: Silver loading here in Berks County PA dramatically increased the amount of my subsidy and thus lowered my cost by hundreds of dollars a month compared to 2017. Without your explanations I wouldn’t have known what the real reason was. Thanks David!
