Shit like this is why we can’t have nice things. Like functional health care.
Rick Scott was CEO of a large, for-profit healthcare company called HCA. While Rick Scott was CEO, HCA stole so much money from Medicare they were fined $1.7 Billion.
Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…

I really enjoyed the Scorsese documentary on Apple TV, and realized that I’ve seen very few of his movies. Planning to catch up on his work, but a bit at a time, and probably not all of it. Violent films are hard for me to watch.

Rain! Snow! Bring it on
A sight for sore eyes! The CPC has New Mexico under a good chance we will see above average precipitation into the middle of November. Currently, forecast models have back-to-back storms that could bring rain and mountain snow chances starting as early as this weekend. #NMwx

There are many people who know the names in the Epstein files, and one or more of them need to leak them bigly.
"Maxwell has received custom meals personally delivered to her cell, after-hours time in a private exercise area, access to a service puppy, and private meetings with visitors arranged by the warden, complete with snacks. Visitors were allowed to bring computers..."

Democrats reveal whistleblower details of Ghislaine Maxwell prison ‘luxuries’
In a letter to the president, House Democrats say Maxwell’s treatment as she prepares a clemency request makes the convicted sex offender look like a “guest at a Trump hotel.”

Not a bad time to recall Brecht and Weill:
However much you twist, whatever lies you tell
Food is the first thing, morals follow on
So first make sure that those who now are starving
Get proper helpings when we all start carving

Grijalva—>EPSTEIN FILES
Upside of the cave is that Johnson loses his excuse to block Grijalva’s swearing in. Which is vote 218.
I don’t want the cave. But whatever is lurking in those Epstein Files gets closer to the light of day.
Unless Johnson can’t pass the cave-in bill, given it seems House Dems seem unified here.

This, this, this. What we want is Single Payer, or Medicare For All, or some other guarantee of health care coverage.
How do so many democrats still not understand that the ACA *was* the compromise.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.
