Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

In after Baud. Damn.

No one could have predicted…

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Let me file that under fuck it.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Just a few more days

The ACA Open Enrollment Period for Healthcare.gov ends at 11:59pm on January 15th — that is this coming Saturday.

After the Open Enrollment Period, getting individual market health insurance gets a whole lot harder. After January 15th, you need a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) to open up a Special Enrollment Period to get coverage. A QLE is a major change in your life like a birth, death, marriage, move or loss of coverage.

As of this morning, the ACA markets are running at a record volume with over 13 million sign-ups. Get signed up by Saturday and save yourself some headaches.

    David, change “December 15th” to “January 15th” in the first line of your post. :-)

    How time flies! I sent a version of last year’s post on the ACA enrollment period to a few uninsured friends, at least one of whom used this information and later thanked me. But that was a year ago? I guess so.

    I wonder what the effect of semi random opening of the enrollment period, say for a week every three or four months, nothing so you could exactly time your cancer diagnosis but would swoop people up who either forgot or didn’t understand the subsidy and thought they were too poor and so on.

    Second thought, why don’t we automatically enroll children in Medicaid when their born for the first year of their life.  Would probably greatly improve outcomes.

    @Parmenides: that is actually a really nifty idea.

    Your post last week had several comments asking for Medicare signup information/guidance.

    I’ll add my voice to that, become eligible this summer.  After forty years of employer provided insurance, I don’t have any insurance picking skills.

    Back in November a Juicer mentioned their Advantage plan included a rebate of Part B costs. I didn’t even know that was a possibility.  Another said they had that, plus some foreign travel coverage.

    Thanks for any help you could offer.
