How to bankrupt people with cancer, who may not be able to earn $ to deduct against while they're sick, and whose treatments will cost wildly more than $25k.
WITH my insurance I pay more than $25k in premiums and out-of-pocket cost shares. Without it would be game over.

Hawley is pitching his colleagues — and Trump — on a new health care plan that would allow all tax payers to deduct up to $25K/person in medical expenses.
Hawley told us he recently discussed the idea with Trump: “I said...'no taxes on tips, no taxes on health care’, and he goes ‘oh I like that."

Trump is now going against his own administration's plan to partially fund SNAP.
He's demanding Democrats end the shutdown and let health insurance costs skyrocket for millions of people, otherwise food assistance won't be released for millions of hungry people ahead of the holidays.

On Monday, I published a two-part blog post about the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) settlement with Aylo, parent company of Pornhub. The FTC’s complaint alleged that Aylo violated federal consumer protection law by allowing child sex abuse material (CSAM) and non-consensual pornography (which I’ll call NCII) on its various sites, despite claiming it didn’t. The resulting order, now approved by a Utah federal judge, imposes a bunch of requirements to make Aylo clean up its act.
