The Congressional Budget Office projects 32 million people will be uninsured in 2020, up 2 million from this year and 4.5 million more than in 2016.
cbo.gov/system/files/2…
CBO now projects that 7 million more people will be uninsured by 2021 due to repeal of the ACA's individual mandate penalty.
This is such an important and poorly understood result from the Congressional Budget Office: Federal subsidies for employer-based insurance for people under age 65 are projected to be higher than for Medicaid and much higher than for ACA premium subsidies.

There are a lot of health reform ideas being floated lately – Medicare-for-all and variations on the theme – that sound similar but are really quite different. Here’s an over-simplified cheat tweet.
Medicare-for-all: Everyone is in a public plan.
Optional Medicare-for-all: People can join a public plan or stay in employer coverage.
Public option: People with individual insurance can join a public plan.
Buy-in: Certain groups (e.g., age 50+) can join a public plan.
When looking at public plan or buy-in options that are not Medicare-for-all, I think the key questions are:

Who can join the public plan?
What do people have to pay?
What is covered?
How much do providers get paid?
How is it financed?

The House Ways and Means Committee has a hearing today on pre-existing conditions, featuring my smart colleague Karen Pollitz.

27% of non-elderly adults have a pre-existing condition that would have resulted in a denial of individual insurance before the ACA.

The share of people with pre-existing conditions varies tremendously throughout the country.

A Texas judge has ruled the entire ACA unconstitutional. If upheld, this would throw out not only the law’s pre-existing condition protections, but also everything else — premium subsidies, expanded Medicaid, preventive services, and much more.
Republic state attorneys general argued that since the individual mandate has been repealed, the mandate itself is now unconstitutional because there is no tax associated with it. And they say the rest of the law cannot be separated from the mandate.
The Trump administration has agreed with the Republican state attorneys general that the individual mandate is unconstitutional. But they have argued that the whole law shouldn’t be thrown out, just its pre-existing condition protections.

New gem for the CBO cover design file. cbo.gov/system/files/2…
This paragraph is so important. And it's why it is hard for CBO--and other scorers--to provide precise estimates of exactly what "Medicare for all" will cost. cbo.gov/system/files/2…
Reminder: There are a handful of existing scores for single-payer plans floating around. Looking at all of them, with their range of outcomes, and different considerations of key variables, may be helpful. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

people often ask me for links where they can learn about observability. i often link to @copyconstruct pieces, the honeycomb ebook, my own stuff. but now i have a new favorite, because these slides from @dotpem's talk at @QConSF .. are.. 💣💥. qconsf.com/system/files/p…
it's a rare set of slides that is funny yet informative, that tells a dense story visually without narration. @dotpem covers the origin story, the business case, metrics/logs/traces, sampling, even an intro to @honeycombio .. all without losing the plot. qconsf.com/system/files/p…
it's so freaking gratifying and awesome to see somebody tell the story better than i do. i get way too down in the weeds sometimes. brb sprucing up my own slides with screenshots of nathan's ...

CBO on what House GOP health bill's waivers would allow:
"Less-healthy people would face extremely high premiums" on health insurance "if they could purchase it at all"
"Annual or lifetime limits would be allowed"
cbo.gov/system/files?f…
CBO projected about 1/6th of states would get waivers on community rating - the ACA law prohibiting price discrimination for health status - as well as "essential health benefits" which include things like prescription drugs, hospitalization, maternity benefits, mental health.
The flip side of fewer protections for sick people is lower premiums for healthy people.

Barack Hussein Obama’s 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 by Federal Election Commission for campaign reporting violations — one of largest fees ever levied against presidential campaign

Why was this Hidden from #WeThePeople?
👇This Thread explains👇
📢#RETWEET 📢
(2)Barack Hussein Obama fine — laid out in FEC documents that have — arose from an audit of campaign, which was published in April. Which was sent to Sean Cairncross, chief lawyer for RNC, one of groups that filed complaints about campaign’s FEC reporting from 2008
📢#RETWEET 📢
(3)“$375,000 is huge fine,” said Republican election lawyer Jason Torchinsky. “It may be one of their top five- or 10-largest fines”

But he added, “They’re also the first billion-dollar presidential campaign. Proportionally, it’s not out of line”
