Essentially all employer plans, including via COBRA, are not ACA compliant and are regulated by ERISA and not by CMS.

It is difficult to explain that an ACA plan may be superior to their employer's COBRA

You are correct, such plans are not required to provide the ten essential health benefits that are required of ACA plans.

I feel that there is no such thing as "implicit consent". CNC and other forms of blanket consent still must be explicit.

im just flabbergasted that u even have these questions when Palestinian journalists have been all over the internet for the last nearly-2 years showing you exactly what Gaza looks like in real time. Gazans are not just sitting around waiting to die, they are adapting & rebuilding even amidst ruin

Federal justices can deputize marshals of their own choosing, to protect the court and enforce its decisions.

In normal times, they have not had to do this but due to the takeover it may start happening.

McDonalds (evil company I do not support) is food security for 10s of millions of poor Americans.

No food safety net here; while ghoulish, McDonalds provides calories and protein to people who need it.

Elites / white middle class do not care if McDonalds prices go up. It hurts the urban poor.
