While we’re waiting for Republicans to unveil their healthcare plan, remember this:
Health insurance didn’t start as a corporate cash grab. Before the ‘70s, giants like Blue Cross & Blue Shield were nonprofits. Then the 1973 HMO Act, signed by President Nixon, turbocharged for-profit healthcare

"What I have feared most in the Trump era is the moral caliber of the men and women who voted for him in 2024. It was one thing in the first two elections - it was something entirely different in the third. Their endorsement came with a foreboding sense of danger."

The only folks I know in real life who voted for Trump were some dumb people I went to HS with and finance bros in NYC who knew better but wanted the tax cuts. I hope they all get shingles soon and go bankrupt.
