The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

At best, the execs running these companies are cowards. At worst, they're racists who don't see value in hiring & retaining journalists of color. Either way, the fourth estate is capitulating to the racism woven into the fabric of this country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I've been thinking a lot about how hard it is to get basic housing assistance for renters and homeowners. That's shown up a lot in my reporting this year. It's unconscionable that we allow people to suffer without the basics. It's so normalized, but I want to push back against that.

Returning to school in your 40s is a beautiful thing, but I think it's indicative of the lack of worker protections in the U.S. Companies shouldn't be able to just layoff workers without proving financial hardship first. People matter more than a balance sheet.
