I write words.

Maybe they shouldn't be health insurance, if they can't insure people... just a point.

Profits over people is ghoulish their model and it needs to come to an end!
IT'S NOT ONLY ACA SUBSIDIES AND REPUBLICANS BUT THE HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES!

"...Nearly 7x as many Americans get health insurance through an employer as those who buy it individually. Those 165M people are expected to see their premiums spike by up to 7%."

At least 7%

The squeeze is on!
Looming affordability crisis set to hit Americans with health insurance through work
It’s a perilous combination for 165 million people with employer-sponsored health insurance. Premiums are rising, while yearly pay raises shrink.

Israel’s genocide has destroyed nearly 90% of Gaza’s economy, causing the worst economic collapse ever recorded. In 2024 alone, Israel caused Gaza’s GDP to decline by 83%, according to data reported by the UN Trade and Development agency. Now, Gaza’s economy stands at just 13% of its 2022 levels.

I for one will also never forget a particularly rancid Ben Smith “story” from 2022, which wasn’t so much a story as an error-ridden, sloppy, ridiculously poorly done piece of attempted image management/brand rehabilitation for a famous creep 🙃 judedoyle.medium.com/ben-smith-ju...

An amazing new Trump controversy, Part II of II:

- Saturday afternoon: Trump says he spoke to Bolsonaro the night before and planned to see him “in the very near future”

- Monday afternoon: The Trump White House isn’t sure whether Trump actually had the conversation he referenced two days earlier
White House hedges on Trump’s curious claim about his call with Brazil’s Bolsonaro White House hedges on Trump’s curious claim about his call with Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro
Did the Republican president talk to Bolsonaro as the Brazilian plotted to escape? Trump said yes, but the White House isn’t so sure.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.

It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?

Please watch this.

The Senate killed a bill to ban state regulation of AI by a vote of 99-1 this spring. Now the industry - eager to stay unregulated - and Trump are scheming to shove the provision in the national defense bill.

You need to know this, so you can help stop it.
