A reminder that the fate of the ACA could be announced within the next two hours.
Here’s where to follow the mornings announcements:
UPDATE: Not related (beyond the fact that abortion/ reproductive healthcare is always connected to the ACA on some level), but there's already another major SCOTUS news development this morning:

Welp. I figured as much but the visual is pretty striking regardless... Image
RE NEW HAMPSHIRE: Something’s clearly not right with NH...several folks from there have stated that their data is messed up; they're doing very well but not THAT great.
I mean I find it difficult to believe that they jumped this much in the past day or two... Image

I'm less concerned by the fact that 44% of Republicans say they refuse to #GetVaccinated than I am by the *consistency* of that percent over time. If it was gradually dropping that would be more encouraging, but it's almost a straight line since December.
I know this isn’t an exact overlap, but if you assume all 44% are those who voted for Trump last year, that’s around 33 million people or 10% of the total U.S. population.
Add the ~50M 11 & younger kids who can’t get vaccinated, the ~10M immunocompromised who can’t, the 4% of Dems & ? Indys who won’t and that’s probably around 30%. Yikes.

📣⚠️🚨👀🔥 HEADS UP! The fate of the #ACA & healthcare coverage for 30 million people may be decided this Monday: acasignups.net/21/05/13/heads…
AS A REMINDER, there's basically 4 ways this could go:

1. SCOTUS throws out the case for being stupid or because the plaintiffs have no standing.

This is what SHOULD happen.
2. SCOTUS strikes down the individual mandate itself only, severing it from the rest of the law.

This is the most likely scenario IMO. It would be a bit irritating but would basically amount to the status quo.

Welp. For good or bad, it's official now.
I, for one, will continue to wear a mask when indoors in public places for awhile, for several reasons.
1. As noted earlier, it'll be impossible to know who isn't wearing a mask because they're vaxxed & who isn't because they're an asshole.

2. That means it'll be impossible for most businesses to enforce a "no mask if vaxxed" policy since there's no official "passport."
3. I'd rather be thought of as "being overly cautious" by half the population than be thought of as "being an asshole" by the other half.

4. My 15-yr old hasn't been vaxxed yet. It'd be a dick move to be at a store w/him and not wear one while he still has to.

Here's the problem with this:

You go to a grocery store. You're vaccinated, so you don't wear a mask. How the hell is anyone else supposed to know whether you aren't wearing a mask because you're vaccinated, or you aren't wearing one because you're an asshole?
I'm not just talking about getting dirty looks from other customers, I mean in terms of actual *store policy*...how are they supposed to enforce it without an official "vaccine passport" etc?
This is good to hear, but it's going to make the "asshole who refuses to follow store policy" problem 100x worse.
