Why should your medical insurance premiums go up because some of your co-workers refuse to be vaxxed?

Likewise, why should your premiums go up if you are in a private plan with members who refuse to be vaxxed?
1/3 tinyurl.com/yhvk3e34
Over 99% of the very costly medical care required for covid patients is incurred now by the unvaxxed. Insurance companies should start raising medical insurance premiums on the unvaxxed to reflect this fact. 2/3
Companies pay for their employees’ medical insurance on a monthly basis. These companies will then start requiring vaccination by their employees and start pressuring R politicians. Same for people in private plans.

(The cost differential can be calculated by actuaries.) 3/3

The most important and timely opinion piece and political analysis of the day (by the formidable Jennifer Rubin)--about “Red Dog” Rs who are leaving the party in response to the anti-democratic turn of the GOP. 1/5 tinyurl.com/yg7dxfhu

"Trump is described as an 'impulsive, mentally unstable and unbalanced individual who suffers from an inferiority complex.'”

There is also apparent confirmation that the Kremlin possesses kompromat. tinyurl.com/yh2g2jaq
This appeared only days after the news broke that the leading Russia- (and Putin-) supported ransomware outfit was taken offline.

A leak (very risky there) would show a serious rift w Putin, by moderates who feel strong enough to challenge Putin's aggression against the U.S.
Some have questioned why this story appeared in The Guardian and not WaPo, NYT etc. Easily explained. The Guardian claims that other Western intelligence agencies have seen the doc, but the *media* leak came from M16 via Steele (who still has contacts there) and then Harding.

@tribelaw Massive student and faculty non-operation will sink the survey. A 1A case defending a state institution would be very strong, but *individuals* cannot be forced to disclose their voting behavior and political views. DeSantis hasn't thought this through and will regret it.
@tribelaw Does the U.S. Census ask individuals to disclose their political party affiliation or their political views?

No.

Would it be unconstitutional for the U.S. Census to include such questions?

Yes.
@tribelaw Public opinion surveys (e.g. by Gallup, Fox News) ask such questions. (Responses are voluntary.)

Could a state government or a public university do so constitutionally?

Of course not--especially (but not only) if such disclosure is made a condition for receiving state benefits.

Whitehouse thinks that DOJ should reach a decision about whether Trump obstructed justice. The problem is that Barr left a shit pile behind him in the department that might have to be cleaned up (and cleared out) before DOJ can be expected to render a credible opinion. 1/13
We need to know first the details about how Barr operated to get the answer to the hypothetical he wanted in order to “land the plane.”

Everything we can discern about the process tells us that it was highly irregular--enough so that it might have violated ethical rules. 2/13
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz is a straight shooter and he has even signaled to Congress that he would love to investigate Barr. So what Whitehouse and the Senate Judiciary should do is to first ask Horowitz to 3/13

In effect, the hypothetical the OLC was addressing (apart from the Congressional impeachment question) was whether Trump could be prosecuted as a *former* president, based on the Mueller Report. 1/15
This was a *purely* hypothetical question at the time, and that is why ABJ called out the Department for its obviously false claim that Section II was shielded from public exposure under the rules governing “pre-decisional deliberations.” 2/15
As I’ve argued previously, since it was addressing a hypothetical question, Section II could not be accounted as a representation of pre-decisional deliberation, since no *decision* was ever at issue. Therefore there was none to be deliberated. 3/15

Let us put the problem this way: What exactly is the legal status of Section II of the DOJ memo that was signed by Steven Engel, Asst AG, Office of Legal Counsel, and that was submitted to Bill Bar? 1/21
DOJ has told the court that it represents internal pre-decisional deliberations that are, according to the rules about such deliberations, protected from FOIA requests. 2/21
Amy Berman Jackson has obliterated this characterization of the legal status of Section II because, quite simply, there was no decision being made and no decision that the OLC *could* have been making about whether Trump should be prosecuted for OOJ, 3/21
