Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

“But what about the lurkers?”

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

This blog will pay for itself.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

People are weird.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

The lights are all blinking red.

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

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

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

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Health Affairs Rural Health briefing

This morning I will be one of the featured speakers at the Health Affairs Rural Health briefing.

 

I will be presenting a paper: The  Rural-Urban Differences in Individual Market Health Plan Affordability after Subsidy Payment Cuts

 

I co-wrote this with Jean Abraham, Ph.D, University of Minnesota and Coleman Drake, Ph.D, University of Pittsburgh.  We found that CSR cuts led to significantly cheaper plans for subsidized enrollees when there was silver loading and silver switching of CSR obligations.  Non-subsidized enrollees paid more no matter what strategy a state adopted.  Rural subsidized enrollees saw bigger affordability gains than urban subsidized enrollees.

 

This is our key exhibit where the subsidized individual is a single 50 year old non-smoker earning 400% FPL, and the unsubsidized individual is the same except that they earn 401% FPL.

I will be speaking at 11:00 EST.

    I tuned in just in time to hear your last words, but stayed on line long enough to hear Kenton Johnston explain that the lack of primary care providers was likely not a big factor in rural health care outcomes. Interesting to me, because Georgia advocates for direct primary care argue the contrary with vigor, but not data.
