Yesterday the Wisc. Elections Commission yet again dealt with a situation where a candidate only submitted 51 nomination signatures for a race that required 50 signatures. DO NOT DO THIS. No matter the # of signatures required, plan on submitting an additional 50%. 1/

Once again, Medicare for All is the moderate position
As for the benchmark SILVER plan, for this hypothetical couple, the cost would jump from $599/month in 2025 to $6,186/month.
