It's an "impossible one shot standard" to not have a Nazi tattoo?

Hopefully yours isn't as gruesome!

We owned 2 houses in 2001. Our combined monthly PITI payments for both houses was less than half of this proposed monthly health insurance premium.

I think we will definitely see anger and outrage grow. Where that goes or what it will cause, I don't know.

And many will die.

It is indeed.

Incorrect. This increase in premiums is due to the "Big Beautiful Bill" not extending enhanced ACA subsidies.

Yeah, it was no bargain even at $333/month.

600,000 South Carolinians—small business owners, young families, people nearing retirement—face soaring Obamacare premiums in weeks.

Many already live paycheck to paycheck.

Republicans must join Democrats to protect their care and reopen the government.

600,000 in S.C. face huge health insurance spikes - Statehouse

A government program that more than 600,000 South Carolinians rely on for health insurance remains at the center of the federal shutdown that began Oct. 1. It shows no signs of being resolved soon.

😢 It's insanity.

My wife is fluent in Spanish, I can muddle my way through. "Pensioners visa" is a topic of discussion in our family in regards to Central and South American countries. Definitely an option for us. We were thinking about it before this all happened, so we're considering it even more seriously now. 😁

Thanks so much. Therapy and support from fam and friends is why I'm still here. 🥰😁

Here's the same letter we received in October, 2024 regarding 2025's premiums. You'll notice the difference from this year's letter.

Bubba's Dad @bubsdad.bsky.social · 1d

Accurate.

Bubba's Dad @bubsdad.bsky.social · 1d

The Big Beautiful Bill did away with the enhanced ACA subsidies. So at our current income,as I understand it, there will be no financial assistance for us.
