Not to minimize the plight here, but notice how Gold is cheaper than Silver here?
That’s a (mild) example of Premium Alignment, which I explained a few weeks ago is a way that a dozen or so states are using to partially mitigate the lost federal tax credits:

Around half of #ACA enrollees are people who are self-employed.
The other half mostly work for small businesses which don't provide healthcare coverage for their employees.

When health care tax credits expire, it’s working people who pay the price. Maine deserves leadership that protects affordable health care — not let premiums soar because of inaction.

If President Trump and Congressional Republicans don't join Democrats to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits before the end of the year, tens of millions of Americans won't be able to afford health insurance - and that has ramifications for the entire health care system.

All this talk about “reclassifying” what counts as a profession is a distraction from the real trend..women-dominated fields like nursing, teaching, social work, counseling, PA programs, physical therapy, are losing funding, while male-dominated sectors keep the capital flowing.

Do the eleventy thousand public school systems that rely on Google (Gmail, docs, Classroom, etc) know that the company, with the flick of a switch and with no notice, is now training its plagiarism machine on child student data?
This could quite possibly be running afoul of some state laws.
