I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?
2256.42%????
TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SIX POINT FORTY TWO PERCENT😩

The voice of honest indignation is the voice of God.
Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

3 EMS calls (that we know of) had to be made yesterday at the Journey Pass sign up. People standing in line for hours who just couldn’t do it anymore. People arrived at 6am for an event that started at 10am. By 11:30, they were turning people away. This was all so avoidable. FREEZE FARES NOW.

WeGo said there’s stigma associated with showing a bus driver a SNAP card yet their IG story right now is them filming a line of SNAP recipients waiting for a Journey Pass at WeGo Central. Absolutely disgusting & indicative of how much they value positive PR over the dignity of our neighbors 🤬🤬🤬
