Glad that it's both bronze AND brass.

So enduringly incredible.

Not a dramatic POS, merely going in order.

It's almost as if you indulge, abet and encourage the worst tendencies in the worst people and then help them get away with all the terrible things they do, they'll get worse.

And to think we once had a Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Fame is Trump's only currency. Nothing else matters. Presidents aren't in office to serve, but be famous.

Like fossil fuels, American corporate insurance and pharmaceutical companies won't face true regulation because they wield too much influence in government and line political pockets. Story as old as time.

Yes, because very well-entrenched corporate insurance companies are such caring negotiators and fair operators.

Without question, and if I had ongoing surgery or a castastrophic diagnosis, I, like so many in this country, would be bankrupted.

Apologies for the assumption, but that nails it. In my case, even after deductible is met, it's not 100% coverage. We're all burning a disturbing proportion of our income in the hope we don't get a catastropic diagnosis.

Trump's lust for the trappings of antiquated regal power (a BALLROOM?! Please pass the powdered wigs, paupers) just further spotlight how little he cares about the country or the office. Everything exists to be used for his own enrichment, advancement or entertainment.

Mine will also triple. After much investigation and endless phone calls to providers, learned we could actually spend less for services by paying out of pocket / cash because it lessens bureaucracy. Insanity.

Having had a bronze high deductible plan for the last year via ACA, I learned from all providers it's basically worthless. You see "UHC" and think wide acceptance, nope. Fine for prescriptions, otherwise, we pay out of pocket and SPEND LESS then we would via insurance.

Anytime anyone slyly slips in a Pixies reference, it's always welcome.

Moved here from California. I appreciate some seasonality, but the wild swings and extremes here are more a by-product obligation rather than feature.
