(Sigh) Here we go again. So what? Unless she revealed her secret plan to give them all the money in the world while assuring them she’d never regulate them if confirmed, who gives a shit?
That’s what pissed me off so much about Bernie’s demand that Hillary release transcripts of her rubber chicken dinner speeches( while refusing to release his tax returns). What exactly did he expect the transcripts to reveal?
I’ve sat through a few of these types of speeches (not from Hillary, but from other lesser big shots). They’re usually pretty forgettable. Some platitudes, a few bad jokes, a lot of “now more than ever” stuff while you’re debating whether to have another dinner roll. That’s it.
Not once has the speaker revealed they’re actually a foreign-born spy sent here to destroy our society or that they bore Elvis’s secret love child. That would’ve made it a lot more memorable, believe me.

Pricing transparency is one of the few healthcare-related actual policies Trump has supported which makes sense, though it could ironically make the problem worse depending on the details.
#FunFact: One of the 3 judges who made the ruling is...Merrick Garland.
This analysis of the new hospital price transparency rule from @Health_Affairs explains how this could actually result in some services *increasing* prices and *accelerating* consolidation.
Every one of these people should be removed from office (if they aren't actually resigning, which it sounds like they just did) and arrested for sedition.
"They were just trying to make a point!" 1. I presume at least some of them are deadly serious. 2. If they *aren't* serious, tough shit. They aren't just some asshole at the bar shooting their mouths off; they're duly-elected State Representatives, and this is a formal document.
This isn't a fucking game.
New Hampshire's official state motto is literally "Live Free or Die."
They've already actually murdered people in the name of Trumpism, and he's already pardoned some of them.
⚠️ I know it's a holiday weekend, but the Trump Admin is trying to cram through some terrible #ACA policies on their way out the door which the Biden Admin may or may not be able to stop. YOU can help stop this, but you only have 3 days to do so! 1/ acasignups.net/20/12/27/call-…
Every year, CMS publishes a long, wonky list of proposed changes/updates to how the #ACA is actually implemented. Some are minor, some are significant. Some are good ideas, some are bad, some are terrible. ALL are subject to a PUBLIC COMMENT period. 2/
You may assume the Trump Admin won't give a crap about these public comments, but a) the staffers actually *reviewing* them are mostly dedicated public servants who want the ACA to work; b) the comments could play a major role in *lawsuits* over policy changes later on... 3/
