Someone should let @SenatorSinema know that if Congress doesn't extend the #AmRescuePlan subsidies, ~200,000 Arizona residents will face healthcare premium increases of up to $11,000/year or more next year.
ALABAMA: A single parent earning $50K/yr will see their annual healthcare premiums jump by 78% next year if the #AmRescuePlan subsidies aren't extended.
ALASKA: A young adult could see as much as a 72% premium hike if the #AmRescuePlan subsidies aren't extended.
ARKANSAS: Are you a single 50-year old earning $25K/year? Prepare to go from paying $20/month to $113/month if the #AmRescuePlan subsidies aren't extended past 2022.
CALIFORNIA: Not sure if this includes the supplemental state-based financial assistance, but if it does, a single parent could see their monthly premiums jump from $211 to $374, costing them $2,000 more next year if #AmRescuePlan subsidies aren't extended. acasignups.net/22/04/19/new-s…
COLORADO: If the #AmRescuePlan subsidies aren't extended, a middle-aged couple with an adult child on their policy could see their premiums jump by up to 86% next year. acasignups.net/22/04/19/new-s…
CONNECTICUT: A family of four could be looking at paying as much as $11,000 more in insurance premiums next year if the #AmRescuePlan subsidies aren't extended. acasignups.net/22/04/19/new-s…

Here's an updated version of my "Dem Stop the Steal!" conspiracy theory thread which hopefully is less scattershot.
There's 3 main claims:
1. "How could there be 20M fewer voters than in 2020 w/"record-breaking turnout?"
2. "How could 15M fewer voter for Harris vs. Biden?"
3. "How could so many swing state voters vote for the Dem for Senate but not for Harris for POTUS?"
There's a few others, but these are the biggest ones, so let's tackle them first:
1. There weren't 20M fewer voters.
I've been compiling the data as it's being updated by CNN's tracking center via a Google spreadsheet. As of this writing, total POTUS turnout is ~147.6M, or ~10.8M lower than 2020's 158.4M.
Yesterday I posted a thread digging into the actual data behind the "20M missing votes!" and "15M fewer than Biden!" conspiracy theories being tossed around the past few days.
Via CNN, as of this writing, total 2024 POTUS votes are only down 13.9 million vs. 2020...with a likely 11.5 - 12.0 million ballots still to be counted across 30 states.
Total 2024 turnout will likely be ~156M or so...just a couple million fewer than 2020.
Again, using CNN's data & estimates, once every legitimate ballot has been counted, Trump will likely have around ~78 million votes to Harris' 75-76 million.
That'd mean he added ~4 million vs 2020 while she lost ~5-6 million.
...the vast majority of this discrepancy happened in districts/counties which were heavily red to begin with, which is why the MAGA COVID Death Cult factor only ended up making a decisive difference in exactly one statewide race: Arizona Attorney General: acasignups.net/22/12/29/updat…
At the House district level it didn't make a decisive difference in any races at all. To understand why, let's look at two extreme examples...
People have started asking why I'm still pushing fundraising for Dems just 5 days before Election Day. All the ad time has been purchased & the lit pieces printed & mailed out already, right?
There's several reasons: 1/
1. For state legislative races in particular, a last-minute cash infusion of even $50 can mean an extra few pizzas for tired & hungry canvassers or an extra burner phone for phone banking.
2. After the polls close, there's going to no doubt be some races which require recounts...which may or may not have to be paid for by the campaign requesting it, depending on the state and the margin. That's gonna cost money.
🧵THE DEAD POOL: Since @MikeJohnson and @JDVance are promising to Concentrate folks w/pre-existing conditions into separate Camps, let's talk about that. 1/ acasignups.net/24/10/04/dead-…
Let's go back to the pre-ACA healthcare landscape. This is what it looked like in 2012...*before* the ACA's major provisions went into effect.
Half the US had employer coverage. Another third had Medicare or Medicaid. ~11M had "individual" insurance; ~48M had nothing at all. 2/
The ACA had 2 main goals:
1. Reduce the number of uninsured Americans as much as possible by making coverage more affordable & accessible;
2. Provide protections from insurance industry abuses, *especially* for the individual market where the abuses were the most blatant. 3/
