I’m not talking about all that What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger stuff. No. That’s simply not true. What doesn’t kill you very often makes you weaker. What doesn’t kill you can leave you limping for the rest of your days. -Matt Haig

Tell you what I am real tired of being asked to give politicians the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe we should give them all the burden of skepticism instead and see which ones overcome it.

People don't really talk about how emotionally gutting it is to try to do something you can't physically do for more than a second if your life depended on it. Physical therapy is fn humbling.

"25,000 Idahoans are likely to drop their coverage for next year when enhanced subsidies expire"
When coverage disappears, ERs fill up, costs rise. People put off doctors and medications until it's too late. At some point, we have to care more about people than about winning.

A big hospital system making billions and then patting itself on the back for giving away a few million in ‘free care’ banks on people not grasping the scale.
If you made $7 billion and gave $140 million, that’s like a 3.5 foot stack of $100 bills versus one taller than the empire state building.

Undocumented immigrants do not get Medicaid or Medicare. Federal law bars them. Only exception is emergency care.
If ACA subsidies expire, a person making $28,000 could see their premiums jump from $325 a year to $1,562 a year, increase of $1,238. Increasing cost and ER burdens for everyone. 🤨
