📣 @CoveredCA urges state's #AsianAmerican community to enroll by April 30th to get new savings on lower health insurance premiums via the #AmRescuePlan! #GetCovered
acasignups.net/21/04/26/cover…
--Over 400,000 Asian Americans in California alone are eligible for the #AmRescuePlan's expanded financial subsidies

--Many can get a high-quality #ACA plan for as little as $1/mo; current off-exchange enrollees could save up to $700/mo
A few examples:
--a 21-yr old single adult in West LA earning $25.5K/yr can get a #SecretPlatinum plan for just $43/mo *or* a Bronze plan for just $1/mo

(she should go for the former, aka "Enhanced Silver", tho)
--A 45-yr old couple living in Sacramento earning $77.6K/yr can get a Silver plan for HALF THE PRICE they did last year (or a Bronze plan for just $330/mo).
--A family of 4 living in Oakland earning $78.6K/yr can get a Silver plan for $190/mo less than last year (or a Bronze plan for just $4/mo!)

📣 Ahead of tonight’s big speech: I have no idea if he’ll give an update on ACA enrollment, but if he does, I’m guessing he’ll announce over 1.0 million ADDITIONAL exchange enrollees via HealthCare.Gov alone since the relaunched enrollment period started on 2/15.
According to @JStein_WaPo, it sounds like Biden will be proposing $200B to make the expanded #ACA subsidies permanent, but no other major healthcare provisions *at the moment*. This actually makes more sense than you may think given this poll: acasignups.net/21/04/27/huh-s…
Having said that, the WH resistance to going bigger in healthcare *at the moment* seems to center around passing #HR3 to pay for other stuff, which is fiercely opposed by #PhRMA.

Wyoming just became the 27th state where more than 1 out of 10 residents has tested positive for #COVID19 to date. Image
📣 UPDATE/CORRECTION: As @mlow29 just noted, all my estimates until now have been based on 2019 estimated state population data--with the US Census Bureau having released at least the statewide April 2020 numbers, I've updated my spreadsheet... Image
...as a result of the updated, official Census data, SOUTH DAKOTA now takes the TOP SPOT in cumulative #COVID19 cases per capita.

NORTH Dakota now ranks second, and RHODE ISLAND drops back to third, at least for the moment.

Medicare rates make quite a difference...
Just from eyeballing the graph, it looks like 60-64 would be around ~$550/mo at Medicare rates, or conversely that 65-69 would cost ~$1,200/mo at private insurance rates.
And THIS is why hospitals are firmly opposed to lowering the Medicare age by even 5 years: They'd see their revenue cut nearly in half from ~20 million people, which would mean either a) taking a profit loss (gasp!) or b) trying to raise rates even further for everyone else.

📣🎉 #ACA enrollment is BACK, and this time it's a #BigFrigginDeal!
Here's 10 important things to remember when you #GetCovered! acasignups.net/21/04/23/aca-e…
1. MILLIONS WHO DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL HELP BEFORE DO NOW...AND IT COULD SAVE YOU *THOUSANDS* OF DOLLARS!!

(and those who already qualified are now eligible for *more* help!)
This table shows the financial help sliding scale under the #ACA (which cuts off help for middle-class enrollees)...and under the #AmRescuePlan, which covers 100% of the premiums for millions of people & caps them at no more than 8.5% EVEN FOR MIDDLE-CLASS AMERICANS: Image

A year ago, I predicted that an actual Public Option being passed was perhaps 10% even with a Dem trifecta, assuming the filibuster was kept in place.

Even THAT assumed Dems would have 53-54 Senators. With 50/50 (including Manchin/Sinema), I'd give it a 1% shot at most. Image
Having said that, note that I say "...BY 2024". Dems should go for as much as they can get right now (which should include adding dental, vision, hearing & a drug MOOP to Medicare, which would be MASSIVE).
Again: If the CBO scores haven't changed much & the other estimates are close, Dems should be within ~$100B of passing a robust ACA 2.0 upgrade AND dramatically beefing up Medicare coverage...and possibly closing the Medicaid Gap at the same time:
