  1. Ugh. That fucking sucks.
  2. Is that your share of the premium, or does that include the employer share? If the former, do you know what your employer share is?
  3. Oh look, wildcat continuing his campaign to be the most dishonest poster on this site.
  4. GLP1s ftw or something.
  5. swap out Lilly and Abbvie for JNJ and MRK on the 10y and that covers the top 4 pharma by market cap.
  6. Top 3 insurers plots against the two largest for profit hospital groups and two admittedly cherry picked pharma. 5 and 10 year plots.
  7. I hope that neither my wife nor daughter would be stupid enough to drive into the middle of an ice convoy with their lights blaring and the associated protest scene.
  8. would appear so. same yellow lettering on the back of his vest.
  9. He puts at least one in the front window. But yeah, we are arguing nuance and details that are unnecessary. The cop was going to be fine. He was trigger happy in a tense situation. Not sure that it is murder, but certainly seems like negligent homicide.
  10. Why I'd like to see the run up to all of this. The context of how she got into the middle of an ICE convoy would be helpful. Doesn't really change the assessment as to whether it was a bad shoot or not. I see no way to justify that shooting. I've been nearly run over by cars plenty of times, something doing dumb shit myself, sometime not. Far more close calls than that. I never really felt like I needed to shoot the driver to make it out the other side. I never really thought that my life was in danger.
  11. If you watch the video closely, you will see that she has the wheels pointed at the ice agent when she initially guns it. She doesn't get traction though, turns to the right and then gets traction and lurches forward. She may have picked him up at some point and thus the hard right. Bad shoot. I would also like the see the video of what lead up to the situation.
  12. The guy at the front of the vehicle walked into position from outside her field of view. She was looking at the agents to teh left of her vehicle that were giving her conflicting instructions and never saw the guy creep in front of her. She tried to high tail it out. The shoot was unnecessary.
  13. M4A should be a universal catastrophic coverage, imo. Let the witches figure out what the max OOP should be for coverage to kick in. Divorce insurance coverage from employment, and let insurers figure out a market to insure people up to the gap amount. Or people can free ball it up to the OOP max if they want. Safety net programs like Medicaid continue, with a focus on coverage up to the max OOP. Every american should have access to HSA with a very generous contribution limit. Force some price transparency and make certain regulatory changes at FDA to require cost-effectiveness analyses be conducted as part of the drug approval process. It's not a perfect solution, but it would be a good start.
  14. Agree, physicians and other providers are not driving the increases in health care costs. It's hospital and pharmacy spend. From KFF:
  15. JFC, that seems insane.
