For non-Michiganders, it sounds like Abdul El-Sayed's "DARK MONEY! CORRUPT!" attack on @GretchenWhitmer turned out to be a big nothingburger: At least 75% of the $2.2M in question appears to have come from...unions, Dem Clubs and progressive organizations.
@gretchenwhitmer UPDATE: It appears to be more like 90%…and the only Blue Cross Blue Shield connection appears to be a $10,000 individual donation from…her father, who was once President of BCBSMI: detroitnews.com/story/news/loc…
@gretchenwhitmer ⚠️ UPDATE: This appears to be the full list of donors to the 527 fund in question. Unless Ajax Paving unfairly wins the #FixTheDamnRoads contract, I’d say it’s a big nothingburger.

PS You know who I *don’t* see listed? Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.

⚠️ THREAD: When the dust settles on the 2019 Open Enrollment Period, total enrollments will likely be ~11.4M on exchange, plus perhaps 3M off-exchange. Of the 14.4M total, around 13M (90%) will actually pay their premiums. 1/
Of those 13M people, around 4.2 million will be unsubsidized & have to pay full price...and that full price will average around $49/month higher in 2019 than it would have been if Trump & the GOP hadn't repealed the individual mandate & opened the floodgates on #ShortAssPlans. 2/
This is the case even in states where 2019 premiums are *dropping* in 2019 (or staying flat)...they would have gone down *even more* without those changes. Many of the carriers have stated this specifically in rate filings, w/many including actuarial data to support it. 3/

🚨 Holy Smokes.
Let me repeat that: 4.2 MILLION currently uninsured Americans could get #ACA-compliant healthcare policies FOR FREE.

(yes, they'd have high deductibles, but they'd include FREE preventative services, such as, blood/drug screenings, mammograms, vaccinations, etc)
THREAD: Here's the full list of FREE preventative services (regardless of deductible) included with every #ACA marketplace policy (as long as it's done in-network): 1/

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

(There's an alternate "diner" version I can't find anywhere online)
