Here is a little thread I put together on how the @GOP killed non-profit health insurers that were created under the ACA. This is why the for-profit insurers have made a killing and we had no competition.
Hey @TheDemocrats - why aren't you using ammo like this?

@GeneMyers1270 @T_Q_Gardner @data_republican Section 1322 of the ACA established this:
SEC. 1322. <<NOTE: 42 USC 18042.>> FEDERAL PROGRAM TO ASSIST
ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION OF NONPROFIT, MEMBER-RUN HEALTH
INSURANCE ISSUERS.

@TUmarkwoods You are adored and I look forward to seeing your next adventure.

[Carolyn McClanahan @CarolynMcC]

@RobinJPowell Robin, hang in there. Thank you for reminding everyone of ways to prepare.
And your daughter has a beautiful soul.

[Robin Powell @RobinJPowell]

I lost a friend a week ago today. She collapsed and died while we were out running.

She was a very special person who gave so much to our local community. She'll be greatly missed.

People have been so kind. Thank you, especially to my daughter Daisy, pictured here, who got me out this morning so I wouldn't dwell on it.

There was probably nothing anyone could have done to save my friend. But it's made me think about how the rest of us can be prepared. Here are a few suggestions.

• Know the signs of a cardiac arrest. The person collapses suddenly, doesn't respond and isn't breathing normally. If you see that, call 999 straight away. Put the phone on speaker and start CPR. The call handler will talk you through it.

• Better still, learn CPR before you need it. The British Heart Foundation's free RevivR course takes 15 minutes on your phone, with a cushion to practise on. If you employ people, get them first aid trained as well. ➡️ https://t.co/dtXgP11tDq

• Look up your nearest defibrillators on DefibFinder. If your workplace or club has one, check it's listed there too. If it isn't, 999 call handlers can't see it. In an emergency, the call handler can direct you to one and give you the code for a locked cabinet. You don't need training to use it. It tells you what to do and only gives a shock if needed. ➡️ https://t.co/PEbB0jecdy

• Runners, always take your phone and keep it switched on. A running belt stops it bouncing around. Set up emergency information on your lock screen, so a stranger can see who to call. And remember, you can call 999 from anyone's phone, even a locked one. Most smartphones have an Emergency option on the lock screen.

Life is precious. Be mindful. Stay alert. Always be ready to help when someone needs you.

Wonder if an anti-vaxxer would go for this?

A cancer vaccine succeeded in a clinical trial in preventing the recurrence of melanoma, a result experts say is a breakthrough for mRNA-based treatments.

Trials for lung cancer, pancreatic cancer and other diseases' vaccines are also underway. https://t.co/5DnJDA2f58

As a state representative, my office helps Floridians get connected to housing, benefits, and the agencies that owe them an answer, regardless of party. I’m running for the Senate to do that work at a bigger scale.

[Carolyn McClanahan @CarolynMcC]

Wow wow wow.
We all knew the legislature was in bed with the insurers.
Glad it is finally coming to light.

[Scott Maxwell @Scott_Maxwell]

The @orlandosentinel and @SunSentinel obtained records that show Fla. insurers paid more than $1 billion to their own affiliate companies while crying poor.

The Senate ordered us to "Destroy or Return" the documents.
We did not comply. Instead, we wrote.

For my Floridian friends, share this Angie Nixon interview on Morning Joe. We need leaders who work for everyone and Angie is going to do just that. She really knocked this interview out of the park and talks about what matters to voters. https://t.co/iYqJov8vBe

[State Rep. Angie Nixon @AngieNixon]

Before I ever held office, I was organizing. I helped build the fight that put a $15 minimum wage on Florida’s ballot, and voters across party lines passed it. That’s still how I move. Learn more at https://t.co/WJDGxP3G9r

@OliverALarkin @AngieNixon The @DNC and @kenmartin73 need to spend some money in Florida. They forget NPA voters will decide the election, not #MAGA Republicans

@jennyrozelle I've had to get attorneys write "nastygrams" twice in my career. That did the trick both time. This is one reason I tell people don't use the internet to do POAs.

[Carolyn McClanahan @CarolynMcC]

Working in DC and saw that @AngieNixon was here for a fundraiser. I showed up to surprise her! People give her money!! https://t.co/bj7cWuUzRH

Visiting @AngieNixon’s new work place after November.

@jennyrozelle I always say plan for who people are, not who they want to be.

[Carolyn McClanahan @CarolynMcC]

So excited this dropped. Thanks @MichaelKitces for letting me share my succession challenges. Hopefully it helps others down the road. https://t.co/7rxt9hpt6i

[Carolyn McClanahan @CarolynMcC]

@tedlieu Don't despair... we are a really good team.
Go @Jaguars !!!

[Carolyn McClanahan @CarolynMcC]

So glad to see to see the force that is @AngieNixon being recognized.

"Nixon ... is difficult to ignore. She leans fiery while Moody leans restrained. She engages with the media and curious crowds drawn to her, while Moody mostly sticks to Fox News and friendly supporters."

@chrissyfarr One thing that helped me a lot was the book "Reasons Not To Worry" by Brigid Delany. Not an answer for any of the problems, but it helped put so much in perspective.

[Carolyn McClanahan @CarolynMcC]

@DebFoxFinancial @FutureProof_HQ @MelissaJoyCFP It looks fun! I will not be there though. Sorry to miss it.

[Carolyn McClanahan @CarolynMcC]

@_iamblakeley @DNC They just mess things up. Hey @DNC, just send @AngieNixon money.

[Carolyn McClanahan @CarolynMcC]

@RobinJPowell One thing do-it-yourselfers don't understand when they think about paying a real planner - you are transferring risk to the planner. Mistakes that you would have made can now be blamed on the planner. They need to be paid to take that risk away from you.
