The way Kenny Rogers’ whole face lights up the moment he hears Dolly Parton’s voice coming from offstage.
I have always loved this performance so much.
One of my very favorite scriptures says: "And now as I said concerning faith--faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true." When you doubt if it's real, just having hope that it is real can carry you through those times.

@SenJohnCurtis It seems appropriate to name the companies who say they are short on labor so we can have an upfront debate about the issue instead of hazy generalities.
It’s a factor of a lot of things. I was an HR director for a company that offered really rich benefits and passed a tiny fraction (less than 5%) to the employee. One year, our renewal was a 38% increase—not feasible for an employer to completely absorb. We had to raise deductibles and adjust cost sharing so we could keep offering decent insurance. The insurance company wasn’t crooked for the renewal—employees on rich plans tend to spend their healthcare dollars in financially inefficient ways because there is no incentive not to. Their best interest is not aligned with the financial realities of the plan in those cases. I redesigned the plan strategically to have a higher deductible but still fund an HSA at a high enough level that the out of pocket didn’t change much, but our claims gradually improved. Our renewal increases went down, a lot of employees started banking tons of savings for future health expenses in their HSAs, and employees with VERY expensive medications still had a max annual out of pocket for all medical (including prescriptions) of $3225. I also saw your earlier post about the manufacturer covering your share of your medication copay. In those situations, they are paying the employee/insurer person directly but still passing the massive cost of the medication onto the plan. They aren’t discounting the cost of the medication. They do this for a lot of expensive medications because it distorts supply and demand pressures in their favor. By outlaying a smaller amount to the insured person, they remove obstacles for the purchase and are able to keep charging the tens of thousands for the prescription to the plan. I’m happy you’re getting your prescription (I watched you for years and have always appreciated you), and I am not implying you shouldn’t be receiving it. I just wanted to explain it so you would understand why costs differ so much between plans.
@CoryBooker My daughter’s best friend was a page last summer and said you were one of the kindest people she worked with in the Senate. This statement reflects that and I really appreciate it.
