"Traditional health insurance" pre-ACA didn't cover pre-ex, had annual/lifetime caps, didn't cover important things like having a baby, led to many declaring bankruptcy when they got sick. Even then, ~50M had no insurance at all because they still couldn't afford it. They clogged ERs to get care.

Did you know that Oregon has a consumer hotline where you can report scams or consumer issues?
The Oregon DOJ is committed to protecting working families across our state.
If you feel you’ve been taken advantage of, there are steps you can take — both online & on the phone.

Just means they figured out how they’re going to redact and/or spin it.
Donald Trump has urged Republicans to vote to release files related to late sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, in an abrupt shift after having previously fought attempts to make the files public. on.ft.com/48iZ4A0

The funniest thing about Twitter these days is that right wing dipshits still think their content is being suppressed by some unseen liberal forces.

Yesterday’s executive order is about 10 months later than expected but on target to do exactly as predicted. It will fully reverse protections enacted under Biden, and resurrect church-run, faith-based systems like we used to have before public social services.

Going to Hawaii for the first time in April. Was supposed to go in ‘20 but that plan disrupted.
Hopefully nothing will disrupt it this time. Even bought the flight insurance, because who by then.

Almost like economists have been saying that you need a functional state with limited number of chaotic events to have a functioning business economy, and that the tumult doesn't make the tax breaks worth it.
Fun thing: if you hate the Trump tariffs, you're going to hate climate change even more.
