📣⚠️WEEKLY UPDATE: #COVID19 case & death rates since June by county, partisan lean & vaccination rate:

NEW: Now finally featuring NEBRASKA data again.
acasignups.net/21/11/01/weekl…
📣 Graph #1: Since the end of June, COVID *case* rates in the reddest tenth of the U.S. have run 2.9x higher than in the bluest tenth: Image
📣 Graph #2: Since the end of June, COVID *death* rates in the reddest tenth of the U.S. have run 5.8x higher than in the bluest tenth.

This is down since last week, at least partly due to finally including *Nebraska* data, which nudged the national average down slightly. Image
📣 Graph #3: Since the end of June, COVID *case* rates in the least-vaccinated tenth of the U.S. have run 2.2x higher than in the most-vaccinated tenth.

Interestingly, it seems to flatten out once you get above ~60% fully vaccinated. Image
📣 Graph #4: Since the end of June, COVID *death* rates in the least-vaccinated tenth of the U.S. have run 4.3x higher than in the most-vaccinated tenth.

It'll be fascinating to see what happens once 5-100 yr olds finally start getting vaccinated.

#BuildBackBetter: The Sausage-Making Continues!

Here's a bunch of changes I found in the *revised* version of the #BBB bill...since Friday!

acasignups.net/21/11/03/build…
Yes, it includes the Big Ticket items like...

--small-ball version of Medicare Part D drug negotiation!
--penalty if drugmakers increase prices more than inflation!
--$2,000 Part D out-of-pocket cost cap!
--$35/mo cap on insulin costs!

...but there's more!
A lot of these changes are just clerical/typo corrections or slight legalese tweaks to pass legal muster (think the #KingvBurwell debacle!).

Other changes are literally just bumping funding up a bit for one program or down a bit for another.

I don’t think that was ever in question.
As an aside, this was precisely my point last spring when Bernie folks demanded that VP Harris fire the parliamentarian after she put the kibosh on including $15MW in the ARP bill.
If Manchinema oppose killing or even altering the filibuster they sure as hell aren’t gonna be onboard with firing the person who decides what can pass without the filibuster.

Setting aside the dire status of democracy at the moment, it's kind of interesting in a wonky sort of way to compare the *smaller* text changes which *don't* make much of a difference:

For instance, this change to the extension of the #AmRescuePlan's ACA subsidy eligibility Unemployment Benefit: Image
Meanwhile, here's (most of) the language re. CAPPING INSULIN OUT OF POCKET COSTS at $35/month: Image

My official 2022 #ACA Open Enrollment Guide: Here's the most important stuff to remember when you go to #GetCovered!
acasignups.net/21/11/03/and-w…
1. MOST WILL HAVE MORE TIME BUT YOU STILL SHOULDN'T DELAY!

The final deadline has been extended by a full month in most states, but in order to have your COVERAGE START IN JANUARY you should still *ENROLL* BY DECEMBER 15th!
Here's the official enrollment deadlines for every state + DC. (Note: A few of these may change): Image

Here's the R^2 for this. It continually increased for 7 months straight regardless of other factors before finally flattening out in October.

It'll be interesting to see what happens starting around Thanksgiving, when the first batch of 5-11 yr olds get their 2nd shot. Image

📣🎉 AND HERE...WE...GO!!

My Official 2022 #ACA Open Enrollment Guide
(developing...I'm running a bit late with it this year):
acasignups.net/21/11/01/and-w…
Here's 12 Things to Remember when you go to #GetCovered:

1. MOST WILL HAVE MORE TIME BUT YOU STILL SHOULDN'T DELAY!

The final deadline has been extended by a full month in most states, but in order to have your coverage start IN JANUARY you should still enroll by DECEMBER 15th!
2. AVOID JUNK PLANS & SCAMS; MAKE SURE YOU ENROLL IN AN OFFICIAL ACA POLICY.

There's lots of questionable website selling questionable policies these days. Stick to *official* ACA exchanges or *authorized* enrollment partners only!
