πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ WA, CO & NV have now each passed their own versions of a Public Option (WA's has actually been running for a year already).

There's caveats on all three--WA & CO's are only "quasi-public," while NV's won't actually be implemented for a few years...but this is still huge.
Here's my write-up about Washington State's "Cascade Care 2.0" quasi-PO program: acasignups.net/21/06/08/washi…
Here's my write-up about the "Colorado Option:" acasignups.net/21/05/27/color…
Here's my write-up about Nevada's *true* Public Option...which won't actually go into effect until 2026:

πŸ“£ THE BIG ONE: CALIFORNIA: #ACA Medi-Cal expansion enrollment up 17% since COVID hit; total Medi-Cal enrollment up 9%:
acasignups.net/21/06/09/calif…
⚠️ If the Supreme Court strikes down the #ACA (their ruling could come as soon as TOMORROW), up to 5.85 MILLION Californians would lose their healthcare coverage, in most cases likely almost immediately.
HEY HEALTHCARE TWITTER: Does anyone know what the heck happened to *non-ACA* Medi-Cal enrollment in Sept/Oct 2017?? I find it difficult to believe that 2 million people suddenly enrolled in a single month w/out any major expansion policy going into effect. cc: @aewright

Yesterday, @DrSriram (who I have great respect for) snidely claimed that those who support a PO over M4All define "universal" coverage as "excluding reproductive rights."

I noted in passing that some (not all) M4All folks are willing to do just that. This was his response: 1/
So I decided to check something. Now, obviously this isn't remotely scientific and I have no idea who most of those who voted are. HOWEVER... 2/ Image
You'll see that several folks who responded appear to be pretty sincere both in their argument for doing exactly this *if* that's what it took.

One, in fact, is the co-chair of the Detroit DSA Single Payer community...who I also respect. 3/

🚨🚨🚨 Yeah, here we go again: The fate of the #ACA & healthcare coverage for *up to 35 million* Americans could be decided THIS MORNING. acasignups.net/21/06/06/here-…
As @CMSGov confirmed yesterday, the total number of Americans who would lose healthcare coverage if the Supreme Court strikes down the #ACA is likely over 31 million...and possibly as high as 35 million by my estimates in a worst-case scenario. acasignups.net/21/06/05/aspe-…
Anyway, as always, @SCOTUSblog will be live-blogging this morning's opinions, which start at 10am. Opinions are posted every 10 minutes. There's 23 cases left to announce from this session, presumably between now and June 30, minus weekends.

Say it with me: SEVERE PAIN IS AN EMERGENCY WHETHER THE CAUSE ITSELF TURNS OUT TO BE LIFE-THREATENING OR NOT.
A few years back I was rushed by my wife to the ER with agonizing pain at 4am. I feared it was appendicitis. It turned out to just be a nasty kidney stone...but how the hell was I supposed to know that at the time???
When the bill showed up, it was $600 thanks to my being insured. "Official" price was $6,000.
