I pay around $300 per month for health insurance for myself.
I went to a doctors appointment to establish primary care and had one lab done.
I now owe $696 out of pocket. For one appointment.
What is the point of this?!
Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia has announced new concession prices:
• $2 hot dogs
• $2 waters
• $2 sodas
• $2 chips
• $2 popcorn
A family of four used to spend $98 on hot dogs, water, and popcorn but will now pay $24 instead.
That's awesome 👏
BREAKING: Congress is pushing to break up the nation's biggest insurance monopolies after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's murder last week.
A pair of bipartisan bills seek to force insurers and other healthcare companies to sell off their so-called "pharmacy benefit managers" or PBMs — which companies and government agencies use to manage their employees' prescription benefits — within the next three years.
Cool. So this week the Senate is voting to let the NSA take over the internet and authorize warrantless surveillance of Americans, and the House is voting to take another hundred billion dollars from you (a tenth of a trillion!) to squander on fruitless foreign wars. Very cool.
REMINDER: Biden created the student debt crisis.
The solution is simple: students who truly can't pay back their student loans should be able to have it discharged in bankruptcy court.
That would also force lenders to be less predatory in their lending practices.
And it would force universities to make their tuitions more affordable, as lenders refused to make risky, overly-expensive loans.
But in 1978, Senator Joe Biden supported the "Middle Income Student Assistance Act", which eliminated income restrictions on federal loans to expand eligibility to all students.
He then used that elimination of income restriction to warn of the threat of student debt bankruptcy, and wrote a separate bill later that year to block students from filing bankruptcy on those loans.
The income restrictions were reinstated in 1981.
He then went on to vote for bills which extended loan eligibility to students with no parental financial support.
In 1984, Biden used his senior position in the Judiciary Committee to extend bankruptcy exemptions to vocational schools as well.
And now that he's created the debt crisis that everyone with common sense warned would happen, he's trying again to use it as an excuse to assert powers that his office does not have.
Because that's what politicians always do: create a crisis, and then grandstand on your suffering that he caused in order to push for more power and more of your money.
To this day, he still won't push for Congress to end the bankruptcy exemption for student loans, for a very simple reason:
He doesn't want the crisis to end. He wants it to worsen, so he can exploit it for more power.

Every day I marvel not only at the intelligence of our Founding Fathers, but their almost supernatural prescience. Here John Adams could be talking about the malaise befouling our great nation this very day:
“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.” - John Adams
