The other things is that what he’s describing IS LITERALLY HOW THE ACA EXCHANGES WORK ALREADY.
The entire point of them (besides calculating subsidy eligibility) is LITERALLY to provide an even playing field for you to compare & choose the best value health INSURANCE policy for your needs & budget.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

ICE is lying. Go figure
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Unfit for Office
Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American."

Politics is a game of addition, and I am perfectly comfortable with a coalition that ranges from Zohran Mamdani to Joe Walsh.
I want to stand alongside people who are in this for the right reasons, who give a shit about our democracy, and want to improve people’s lives.
The rest is just noise.

What a contrast:
On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat.
On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

As a military mom…I am f’ing speechless with rage and fury.
The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite.
