How will proposed caps on government loans and cuts to PSLF impact indigent defense?

It was such an amazing conversation with @allisonpugh.bsky.social & def gave “feeling seen”. We could’ve talked for hours. Thanks for sharing.

Well deserved recognition for @inquirer.com and for you, personally, @willbunch.bsky.social Congratulations!

So grateful for a publisher willing to take all sorts of risks to give bold, complex ideas the space and the audience they need.

Tonight I’m grateful to the universe for one who lifts me up, selflessly, and I’m reminded to keep paying it forward - & calling the people I love.

Who (outside your family) do you care about? Give them a call, please. Just because.

Last weekend we just talked about people making ridiculous decisions and laughed and lamented and poked a bit of fun (no, this is not political. The decisions are far from seats of political power but, boy, they’re 🧐)

Uff. Sorry you’re in this position (as are so many others).

Then maybe consider not using your insurance at the independent pharmacy? Bc cvs/aetna are unlikely to be sympathetic to your preference for not using the business model they designed to do exactly this - constrain your choices exclusively for their benefit.

Your employer chose this option. Ask HR & the CFO to choose differently when this contract is up.

Since CVS owns Aetna, I don’t hold much hope for an appeal to them.

Totally understand. Not arguing your points.

And yet I’ll bet good money this is where it would end up bc of moneyed interests and the path of least resistance.

I’m not being literal about MA - well aware of its disadvantages - but suggesting it would be the model, bc it’s in place and pretty easy to understand (as someone’s said, hc is complicated and how many legislators will take any time at all to understand it?).

Medicare Advantage is the current hybrid. It would be the “logical” transition to MFA.

Does anyone want that except the insurance industry?

I’d want to know more about what they mean by “polarizing”…

Thank you. 🙏

I wish fewer HCWs needed this language.

😂 just making sure it has that “lived in“ look.
