I have great health insurance. Just did my selections for 2026, my insurance will increase by just over $800 next year for a single person with no dependents.
Overall not bad.
I feel lucky because I know many Americans are about to get hit with a ridiculous increase in their premiums.
So unfortunate

Tylenol use for circumcisions causes autism???
When are you going to state that drinking water at any point in life causes autism???
Every time you open your mouth, the United States gets dumber.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

First it was vaccines cause autism and now Kennedy and his cronies are telling us that acetaminophen markedly increases the risk of autism.
Acetaminophen has been shown (and proven) safe in pregnancy and one of the few drugs that pregnant women have been able to take with little risks.

I would suggest parents follow the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations on vaccines rather than Robert F. Kennedy's hand picked CDC advisors.
To say this new vaccine recommendation is dangerous is an understatement.
Even 3 of his hand picked advisors voted against it.

Today we saw why the Republican chair would not agree to put Kennedy under oath.
The blatant lies he was spewing out his mouth was amazing.
When the illnesses & deaths truly start to hit, that is 100% on you Republicans that confirmed this guy as head of HHS.

This study was published in Annals of Internal Medicine; the journal is NOT retracting it just because of political pressure from the world's most extreme & dangerous anti-vaxx activist

Did a killer legs workout at the gym today. Gave it a 10/10.
About 4 hours later had the worst leg cramps I think I have ever had.
Couldn't believe how much pain I was in for about 5 minutes.

Just horrific news out of Minnesota this morning. So senseless.
Just a reminder about Minnesota, the Minnesota Senate makeup is D = 34, R = 33.
Minnesota House: D = 67, R = 67
Have to wonder if this person was trying to shift the makeup in Minnesota among other things.
