🔥 OVERWHELMED BY SO MANY CANDIDATES? Want to focus your dollars even more effectively? I've pared the ~600 above down to 50 FEDERAL & 60 STATE RACES where I think your donations would have the most impact.

That doesn't mean the rest aren't important, of course! 21/
🚨 LAST CALL! 🚨

FEDERAL: Donate to these 50 races to #FlipTheSenate, #ExpandTheBlueHouse *and* #FlipHouseDelegations in case the Presidential race goes to Congress (each state only gets 1 vote in that scenario, so we'd need control of 26 states): 22/

secure.actblue.com/donate/final_f…
🚨 LAST CALL! 🚨

STATE: State legislatures control redistricting, Medicaid expansion & much more. Trump is even scheming to get them to appoint their own Electors! Donate to these races to help flip up to 10 state legislative bodies at once! 23/

secure.actblue.com/donate/final_s…
P.S. Aside from normal ActBlue/payment processor fees, 100% of donations go to the campaigns. I receive nothing besides peace of mind. If you'd like to support my work in ACA/healthcare policy data analysis/advocacy, you can do so here. Thank you! /END

⚠️ CMS just approved Georgia’s 1332 waiver...is this the one which destroys the ACA exchange in the state or is this the other one? I’m a little cross-eyed these days... cc: @wcsanders @bjdickmayhew @cynthiaccox
Never mind...it is.

Trump’s HHS Dept. just gave Georgia permission to privatize the individual market exchange portion of the ACA, meaning starting in 2023 they’ll no longer use EITHER HCgov *or* an ACA exchange but will instead be able to hawk junk plans, I believe. Image
Here’s a good explainer from @TaraStraw. It’s not pretty.

📣💥 OH, YEAH: #ACA Open Enrollment starts TODAY!

Here's 7 important things to remember:
acasignups.net/20/11/01/oh-ye…
1. DON'T MISS THE DEADLINE!
In most states you have until 12/15 to #GetCovered, but 9 states + DC have longer deadlines to sign up (though your coverage may start later).
2. MAKE SURE YOU ENROLL IN AN ACA-COMPLIANT PLAN!
There's lots of scam sites out there, plus sites which are legal but still mix ACA plans w/junk plans. Stick to either the official ACA exchange sites *or* to authorized partner sites which *only* sell fully ACA-compliant plans.

Just received the strangest voter intimidation/harassment call I've ever gotten.

Guy from Lakeland, Florida calls me up, starts asking about the election. I assume it's a standard phone banker. I explain I've already voted so he can move on to someone else. 1/
Instead, he starts asking *me* for info about Biden & Harris. He's supposedly "undecided" and wants to know why he should vote for Biden v. Trump.

I ask how he got my number (again, assuming it's part of a phone banking database), he says that my number was "on the internet". 2/
At this point I know for sure something's up. I probe him a bit further--he claims he "just googled it" and my number came up because I'm "the chair of the Democrat Party".

I'm the chair of a *local* Democratic *club* (and even then, my phone number isn't on our website). 3/

📣 UPDATE: @JohnJamesMI *again* tries explaining his position on healthcare policy and it...doesn't go well. Again (see updates at bottom):
acasignups.net/20/10/29/updat…
James seems to have finally realized that "tort reform" has nothing to do with mandating coverage of pre-existing conditions, anyway. He's still touting "selling across state lines", "association plans" and "patient-centered, market-based" solutions, however.
A new bullet is to criticize the fact that several carriers have dropped out of the Michigan #ACA exchange. That's true, but he doesn't mention the REASONS they did so: acasignups.net/17/09/15/michi…

Dear @AOC: For someone who prides herself on being able to empathize with the poor & downtrodden, this statement is incredibly tone deaf and tunnel-visioned.

Yes, there are serious flaws w/the #ACA which need to be addressed...but it's a MASSIVE improvement over the pre-ACA era.
To be clear: You voted for #HR1425 this summer (essentially ACA 2.0), for which I applaud you.

But think about what you just said: You think it failed *in general* because it didn't work *for you and your immediate circle of co-workers*.

That doesn't mean it failed for others.
The ACA vastly improved life for tens of millions of people.

It failed to improve life for other people, apparently including yourself. Fair enough. But making a blanket "it failed" statement because you don't feel it helped YOU specifically? Think about that stance a moment.
