Please understand that "reward people for being healthy", in health insurance, also translates to "punish people for being disabled."
The people who are most vulnerable, most in need, will be asked to bear higher costs, in many cases, pricing them out of accessing health care, into early graves.

Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."

Happening today in Ohio. Recall that Ohio passed an amendment in 2023 with 57% of the vote to ensure abortion rights in the state, yet Republicans are still trying to curtail that using bogus studies.
Starting shortly, Ohio House Health Committee is voting on House Bill 324, to restrict abortion medication based on a flawed "study" from an anti-abortion organization. The bill may be voted on in House session this afternoon.

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

If only there were some sort of marketplace, perhaps online, where people could compare insurance plans and choose one for themselves. Perhaps with some financial assistance for those who need it….
Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."

Yes. If you ever think banks should be allowed to cut off financial services for "morality" reasons, just note that neither Epstein's pedophilia, nor Miller's Nazism, nor RFK Jr's eugenics, nor Musk's destruction of USAID caused banks any "moral" concerns whatsoever.
We cannot allow financial institutions which regularly cross the line from amoral to explicitly immoral to hold a dehumanizing line against people who do sex work.
I don't believe for a moment that this debanking effort is because of Ana's sex work rather than her reporting, but also even if that was the reason it shouldn't be allowed.
None of the content Ana has ever made is illegal. There is no justification to cut her off from the banking system.

In 2010, Keith Olbermann smeared the Assange rape accusers, went on a week-long tear of blocking everyone and quitting Twitter when criticized, then accused me of "glorifying smoking" because I had a cigarette in my PFP, but it would have made more sense if I'd known he was living with a teenager.
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?
