@LoewyLawFirm Generally respect your takes but this one is terrible. Player/coach gambling cannot be tolerated.

It is the slipperyest of slopes and you know it.

@lyndonbajohnson Heartbreaking but amazing

@RenzoDowney @bradj_TX @TexasGOP I was at the SD 11 convention and know 75% of the delegates. I have a hard time believing any of our delegates are affiliated with CAIR. I would like to see proof.

At tonight’s meeting, we passed the Healthy Spaces Initiative. This comprehensive set of ordinances prevents homeless camps and panhandling in League City.

We have one councilman who has consistently denied the existence of a problem. These pictures were taken from one of the recent camps City crews cleaned up. Ignoring the problem does no good for the taxpayers or the homeless.

We have partnered with the County and nonprofits to get homeless people mental health, substance abuse, and permanent housing assistance.

Loving your neighbor is not ignoring them, it is providing real assistance.

Like most regulations it fixed one problem and created another even worse problem. The NSA as it works has led to insane bills because of the broken IDR process. In Texas and Florida ER bills are up over 40%. No new care just devastating increases for plan sponsors. It needs to be revised

• Alabama: BCBS of AL (nonprofit) — often ~90-95%+ in some segments.
• Alaska: Premera Blue Cross (nonprofit/mutual aspects) — dominant.
• Arizona: BCBS of AZ.
• Arkansas: Arkansas BCBS.
• California: Kaiser (~37-49% in key segments, nonprofit); Blue Shield of CA (nonprofit, strong in individual/small group).
• Colorado: Kaiser (strong, ~37-49%); Anthem BCBS.
• Connecticut: Various; EmblemHealth or BCBS affiliates.
• Florida: Florida Blue (GuideWell, mutual/nonprofit holding).
• Illinois: HCSC/BCBS IL (mutual).
• Iowa: Wellmark BCBS (nonprofit).
• Maryland/DC: CareFirst (nonprofit).
• Michigan: BCBS of MI (nonprofit).
• Minnesota: BCBS of MN (~30%), UCare/HealthPartners (nonprofits).

• Texas: HCSC/BCBS TX (mutual).
• Washington: Kaiser or Premera/Regence (nonprofit elements).

Nonprofit health plans dominate the market in most states. Allowing competition across state lines and rolling back terrible regulation like the No Surprise Billing Act would have a real difference in cost

@DesertManHere @MarcusMStanley @grok list all the health insurance companies that are non profits and their market shares in the states they operate in

@NathanForTexas So he’s self funded his campaign with his inherited wealth but also exclusively working for his donors?

Which is it?

@scottbraddock @JamesSkoufis @HoustonChron Underwriters take numerous factors including zip code into account when building mortality tables. There is no subsidization.

@DavidAFrench None of my friends have Nazi tattoos either.

@BernieSanders Nice stunt. Spend your time focusing on legislation that will actually help the people that pay your salary.

@sircalebhammer It’s not great but it’s a pretty iconic Austin structure

@CrotserJeremiah @lyndonbajohnson Well I think he is a big fan of some genocides

@chris_komatsu @DastDn And what happened in 2018?

[Mayor Nick Long @MayorNickLong]

This isn’t a comment on who is right or who is wrong but here is how it works.

The drug manufacturer makes the coupon in an attempt to circumvent the copays set in your plan and encourage you to use their drug because there is another drug in the same class that is significantly less expensive.

Your doctor doesn’t worry about cost and prescribes the drug in the correct class that they know the most about.

The drug that is the most expensive in the class has the most money to pay for advertising and reps to push their drug so they get prescribed the most.

@igorbobic Who cares if she does?

[Mayor Nick Long @MayorNickLong]

The City removed another abandoned encampment today off of 96. The City’s public works teams will work over the next few weeks to remove all of these illegal camps.

@El_Xico99 I’m more partial to HRL airport. Show up 10 minutes before boarding and still have time to grab a beer before getting on the plane.

[Mayor Nick Long @MayorNickLong]

@El_Xico99 That’s cool. Love the RGV
