This reminds me of an incident a good 25 years ago when I was a movie theater concessions manager. I had been on vacation and was on my first day back...
...only to discover two new staffers cleaning the concession stand with bleach *and* ammonia at the same time.
I freaked out and stopped them immediately.
It turns out the manager covering for me thought that state health regs required them to use bleach, but OSHA regs didn’t allow minors to use bleach products, so she had the high school kids using ammonia while the college kids used bleach.
She didn’t get it when I explained that was a good way of getting the entire staff killed.

Yes, that’s right: Ronna Romney McDaniel was a freshman at my high school when I was a senior. Back when she was proud of the Romney name.
I actually graduated with George Romney, who I think is the grandson of the former Michigan Governor but I’m not sure (there’s a LOT of members of the Romney clan). I had a typing class with him. Seemed like a nice enough guy. Complained about being pressured to go into politics.
Last night I mentioned I went to high school with a couple of the Romney kids, including Ronna Romney McDaniel (RNC chair), who was a freshman when I graduated. In another odd coincidence, my wife graduated with Dana Nessel, who is now the Attorney General of Michigan...
Here's examples of how much 8 different households could save in healthcare premiums if it becomes law. 1/ acasignups.net/21/02/04/aca-2…
IMPORTANT: The following examples are based on the *average* premium for a 2021 benchmark Silver #ACA plan. Actual savings will vary widely depending on where you live, your household makeup/ages and your household income. 2/
"YOUNG INVINCIBLE": A single 26-year old would save as much as $122/month or nearly $1,500/year compared to the current #ACA subsidy formula: 3/
⚠️ It's Official: Cumulative #COVID19 cases *AND* deaths per capita are now higher in Red Counties than in Blue Counties nationally: 1/ acasignups.net/21/02/06/weekl…
Counties w/highest cumul. #COVID19 cases per capita: 1. Crowley County, CO 2. Chattahoochee County, GA 3. Bent County, CO 4. Lincoln County, AR 5. Dewey County, SD 6. Lake County, TN 7. Norton County, KS 8. Bon Homme County, SD 9. Buffalo County, SD 10. Trousdale County, TN

Fully 31% of Crowley County, CO has now tested positive for #COVID19 over the past year (1,884 out of 6,061 residents.
There's 11 counties where at least 20% of the population has tested positive, and 57 counties where at least 15% has. 3/
Remember, even if you fall outside the parameters above, ANY documented U.S. resident is ALWAYS eligible for a 60-day Special Enrollment Period if they have a qualifying life experience like losing coverage, getting married/divorced, moving, giving birth, etc.
Also, Native Americans & Alaska Natives can enroll in #ACA exchange plans year-round.
FINALLY, you can enroll in MEDICAID or CHIP year round in any state, and you can enroll in the Essential Plan, MinnesotaCare or Connector Care year round in NY, MN & MA respectively.
I've posted graphs showing how much households would save if the #ACA subsidy cliff was killed & subsidies beefed up, but those were based on an earlier subsidy table.
Assuming the #ACA survives SCOTUS *and* the #AmRescuePlan becomes law w/#KillTheCliff & #UpTheSubs, here's how much you could save based on the *average* benchmark premium price nationally. Depending on where you live, your household & income, this could vary widely. 3/
