Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

Shut up, hissy kitty!

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

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

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

No one could have predicted…

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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.
