In just over a month, tens of millions of Americans will be priced out of affordable health care coverage because Republicans let critical ACA tax credits expire.
I wrote this legislation to stop that from happening.

Public service announcement: it is not too late to buy a physical dead-tree cookbook. Thrift stores have been absolutely crammed with them ever since people decided to get all their recipes off the internet.

Unforch it is true, white Americans do NOT ~generally~ have good cultural habits around hygiene.
Shoes in the house, outside clothes on the bed, etc. No real sense of "the world is outside, my home is inside."
We functionally live outside but surrounded by piles of belongings.

This is the whole lack of education on hygiene white Americans seem to have! Idk, my mom immigrated from Scotland and her dad was a military nurse so maybe she brought common sense cleanliness practices to our white family like don't sit on my bed in your outside clothes.

Breathless coverage of one person injured, not killed, on a CTA train, vs. a brief on Page 9 when two people are killed on the road. That’s because road death happens ALL THE TIME - 3 1/2 road fatalities per day in Illinois.

Temporarily abled people have this illusion precisely *because* by definition they aren't regularly interacting with the healthcare system as a patient.
And then when they do inevitably become disabled, this illusion completely shatters and that itself is traumatizing.
