An important pragmatic point as Trump, Dr. Oz, and others claim to want to reform the subsidy scheme for 2026: It's too late for that.

Insurers modeled premiums with and without enhanced subsidies; they *didn't* estimate rates accounting for some quarter-baked scheme to issue some subsidy as cash.
Congress’ Obamacare subsidy vote could set off state scramble
The 20 state Affordable Care Act exchanges are prepared for a straightforward extension, but that appears doubtful.

you celebrate that meat is now on the menu for the boys. but it’s curious that you’re not examining why meat *isn’t* always on the menu. as if a level of forced scarcity is being used as a tool of oppression, demanding allegiance to the tower man on the rare occurrence of treats.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
