It's funny when a something gets called out for using AI and the culprits claim it was a localized, one-time use only.
If you replace "AI" with "cheating," it follows that they wouldn't have cheated just the once, because cheaters who cheat do it early and often once they cross that threshold

okay. so there are often a few dessert recipes that share things (type of dish; fruit) in common but this is really kicked up for fall. just about everything that isn’t pumpkin is apple or pear & one of the variety of “baked fruit w/ starch on top”, to the point where they offer a guide to the types

This kinda thing didn't happen for 5 years. It just doesn't happen with Medicare, Medcaid/CHIP, or employer coverage.
I don't think it's a good idea for it to happen to people that have to buy their own insurance.

It means that if we earn even $1 more than 400% FPL next year ($106,600), our premium would jump from $755/month to $2,184/month....PLUS an $8K deductible & a $19K max out of pocket ceiling.
That's nearly 3x as much...or nearly 25% of our GROSS income just for the premiums.

Love the ending of this: "Because there are better and worse ways to feel 'just a pinch.'"
When medical providers can underestimate the pain of forcibly dilating the cervix and sticking a T-shaped device into the uterus, patients fear IUD insertion. Writer Catherine Work got an IUD in 3 different countries and has some advice for American OB-GYNs.
I Got Birth Control in Three Different Countries—Here’s How the U.S. Stacks Up
Analysis: Intrauterine devices, or IUDs, are an increasingly popular, long-acting contraception. But pain management and cost inhibit many patients in the U.S. and abroad.
