I went to the WA Healthcare exchange and my KP silver cascade was transformed to gold for $200 more but yesterday I got mail from KP and they said my silver cascade was $400 more. I'm confused.

This is why I loved Howard Dean. He wanted to run a 50 state strategy. The Dems are just better at policies that make our lives better.

I'll be happy if people stop demanding primaries of centrists outside the districts they live in. For example, if you don't live in WA-3, don't say MGP needs to be primaried. Centrists gonna centrist. If she represents her district, then that's life.
