@JimVejvoda Thank god I started rewatching Burn Notice this week.

In so many ways, the Affordable Care Act has become part of our lives, changing the way we think about health insurance. But that doesn’t mean we can take it for granted.

Right now, some Republicans are still trying to repeal and gut the ACA – including calling for cuts that could put insurance out of reach for tens of millions of Americans.

Saw a question online recently, asking if people had ever been personally impacted by federal legislation. Having had pre-existing conditions and lifetime caps both affect my life… this.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Fourteen years ago today, I signed the Affordable Care Act into law.

Afterwards, one Republican member of the House called the ACA the “most dangerous piece of legislation ever passed in Congress.” Another predicted the country would “never recover from it.”

But then something else happened: it actually worked.

Ok. Let's play a game. How many people had or grew up in a home with this exact model?

I was able to snag “docbrown” (no silly qualifiers about my current or former job) there. Nice place.

The blue place is out of beta as of today, and no longer requires invites. You can find me the same way there as here.

@ccatko @KSiteTV I have the first couple seasons on DVD but haven't seen much past that since it was on. Only vaguely remember little bits.

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

@cjoanporter Having left journalism very specifically because of job insecurity and lack of pay (I’m now a lawyer, which is much better on both fronts), I’d be in. I miss talking to cool press people.
