Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

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

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

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Bark louder, little dog.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

ACA Open Enrollment Reminder

by | 7 Comments

This post is in: 

Just a reminder, Open Enrollment for the ACA has its first big deadline at 11:59PM local time on December 15th. Individuals who choose their plans before that time will have their policies go live on January 1, 2025. Individuals in all states other than Idaho will have Open Enrollment Periods extend to January 15, 2025.

Even if you like your policy this year, go in and check things out. Your networks might change, your premium subsidy likely changes (work under review right now), and your options might change. Spend 20-30 minutes confirming that this hugely consequential decision is still a decent one.

    This Propublica article about a bad actor in Helena Montana cancer treatment calls out a number of failures. One that David might have a particular interest in is the insurance industry failures. The first character in the story was a person diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer that was getting covered treatments for 11 years.

    The Warwicks and St. Peter’s eventually settled the case for an undisclosed amount. Weiner was not held liable because he was a hospital employee. Neither the family nor their attorney have solved the mystery of why three private health insurers paid for 11 years of Stage 4 lung cancer treatment. None of the companies responded when I asked.

    More in plain sight stuff:

    Evidence of that high-volume business was hiding in plain sight, in data published by CMS. An analysis of Medicare Part B billing data shows that, from 2013 to 2020, Weiner billed for 40,000 15-minute visits, more than any other doctor — of any specialty — in the nation. The publicly available data offers just a glimpse of what St. Peter’s knew was a much bigger problem. “He’d see 15 patients in 30 minutes,” LaClair told me. This made Weiner rich and apparently missed the gaze of insurance regulators.

    Hi David, I wanted to echo others’ thanks for your sharing your expertise.  I have a minor question: my dad is moving from Florida to Alabama.  My understanding is he has to cancel his Florida Medicare & Medicaid before he can apply for Alabama insurance.  My sister is driving him from FL to AL, so I am thinking he should not cancel until after he arrives in AL, just in case something happens on the road.  Doesn’t this arrangement still leave him with a period of time when he is not covered while applying for insurance in AL and is there anything we can do about this to make the transition more seamless?

    Subsidies are way down this year.  My portion of the premium is going from $3/month to $288/month.
