The black line is how much a 64-yr old couple earning $90K/yr has to pay per month for the benchmark #ACA policy in 2025.

The blue bars are how much they'd have to pay in 2026 if the IRA subsidies are allowed to expire.

I'm only halfway through the states.

I have to take an annual fire safety training for work, and I am reminded that I asked some of the folks who manage these things how they evacuate the NICU and apparently they have vests you can load up with babies
A product photo with a supposed hospital employee wearing a vest with three visible pouches that are made of probably nylon and mesh, and they are buckled closed like the buckles on bike helmets, and in each pouch is a baby doll

I don't think people understand that thanks to a corrupt supreme court, every corporation in every sector touching every corner of your life is going to argue that consumer protection is now effectively illegal

June 28: SCOTUS overturns Chevron.

October 16: FTC finalizes rule requiring gyms, etc to make it easier to cancel subscriptions.

October 23: Telecom industry group sues to block the click-to-cancel rule.

The true scope of this ruling will not be immediately felt, and what replaces Chevron deference is still unclear. The regulatory state has been under steady attack from an increasingly conservative judiciary for a long time. Some of the agencies we follow most closely were kneecapped even before this decision — one expert we talked to said that Chevron had been a “dead letter for quite some time.” Still, this is a formal turning point. The biggest policy stories at The Verge have centered around federal agencies. And for a long time, the kind of regulation that actually kept up with the pace of technology was mostly coming out of agencies. It is in the years to come that we will wonder, “Why isn’t anyone doing anything?” or “How can a court just unilaterally do that?” about issues that range from trivial to life-threatening.
