Personal news: Guess what I’m doing tomorrow? (You’re supposed to have this done when. You turn 50 and I turn 51 in a few days, so...)
Oh yeah...guess what’s on the long list of FREE preventative services covered under the #ACA which is at risk from yet another lawsuit filed by religious conservatives?

Anyway, I get to spend all day today preparing by drinking gallons of clear Gatorade and Miralax...let’s just say I’m not gonna be in a great mood by this evening...
Hmmmm...apparently you’re supposed to have it done when you turn 45, not 50. Either I misheard or they updated the age recommendation. So I’m either 1 or 6 years overdue.

⚠️ Thanks @SuMoh7 & @VABVOX for the heads up: This should be obvious, but it’s good to have the hard data: rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
📣📣 “An Associated Press analysis of available government data from May shows that “breakthrough” infections in fully vaccinated people accounted for fewer than 1,200 of more than 853,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations. That’s about 0.1%.”
📣📣 “And only about 150 of the more than 18,000 COVID-19 deaths in May were in fully vaccinated people. That translates to about 0.8%, or five deaths per day on average.”

Bottom's Up: Colonoscopies to screen for cancer are FREE under the #ACA and are recommended starting at age 45. I'm about to turn 51, so... acasignups.net/21/06/23/botto…
⚠️ IMPORTANT CLARIFICATIONS:
1. They’re free under *ACA-COMPLIANT* policies, NOT if you’re uninsured or on a junk plan.

2. You still have to have it done in-network

3. If they have to remove any polyps/etc, THAT might be billed to your insurance like anything else.

⚠️ Guess what, everyone? That's right: It's Yet Another U.S. Supreme Court Opinion Issuance Day!

Come back starting at 10:00am to see whether they decide to tear away healthcare coverage for up to 34 million Americans based on the most absurdly stupid case imaginable!
There's around ~20 cases left for SCOTUS to issue opinions on this term including the #ACA case...which still might be bumped until later this month (I believe the term ends on June 30th).

They wait 10 minutes between each opinion being released, so it could be a long morning...
Once again, there's basically 4 possible ways the SCOTUS could rule on the #ACA case. Two of them would be fine. One would be pretty awful. One would be absolute disaster.

I came down with a nasty case of shingles right after the first ACA Open Enrollment Period ended in April 2014. It was awful, worst pain I’ve ever felt and I couldn’t sleep for weeks. To this day I still suffer from mild Postherpetic neuralgia.
#GetVaxxed
Postherpetic neuralgia basically means that your pain neurons keep firing long after the shingles itself has gone away; it’s like they get stuck in a loop. To this day (7 yrs later) my right eyebrow itches like mad ALL THE TIME. Not too bad for me but much worse for some people.
Also, my right cornea was damaged to the point that I can never get lasik surgery because there’s too much risk of going blind in my right eye.

Shingles sucks on multiple levels.

Decided to check in on a few states at the county level again. Here's California. Good grief.
