"Hemp"-derived products that contain only CBD will continue to be legal, and any state that's legalized cannabis will still have legalized (and regulated) cannabis. This is just to close the loophole that resulted in some dangerous products being technically legal.

This means Rick Scott does not believe there should be any of what the ACA calls "essential health benefits" — things an insurance company *has* to cover

Says all plans would have to cover pre-existing conditions. But if states set the rules, some might choose not to require coverage for thinks like pregnancy, or prescription drugs some people need to survive, and so on…(as it was pre-ACA)

Specifically, it was the National Weather Service Modernization and Associated Restructuring, begun in the 70s, which completely overhauled how we predict and respond to rapid weather events.

You're welcome! I considered both procedures before choosing the embolization, so I was familiar with the difference, but I did have to look up the word before I replied to make sure "ablation" was right!

ERISA won't save you. The ACA market entering a death spiral will cause massive failures in the health care delivery system. Even more hospitals will close. Rural clinics will go under. Entire practices will be sold to venture capital.
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.
