    To anyone like Angie that this Texas judge’s ACA ruling is worried, I know that it feels like Trump’s assault in your health in constant. But so is the defense. And the defense is far better. Focus on getting better and know that people have your back.

    Yes, I did just say on TV that Medicare is more popular than anything except “maybe the first joys of teenager-hood.” Important lesson here. Don’t start an analogy unless you know how to finish it.

  11. BREAKING: Despite Trump’s efforts and a lawsuit to eliminate it, ACA enrollment totals are now approaching last year’s totals accounting for new Medicaid expansion—- even with a 90% marketing budget cut. A big statement. But millions more, though, should be insured by now.

    We did it. We defended the post-ACA status quo in healthcare for two years while the held all of the levers of power – we largely fought them to a standstill. The disability community – the entire disability community – did this.

    And all the mamas of medically fragile children saw the gavel in @NancyPelosi's hand, finally took one large deep breath, maybe cried a little, steeled their shoulders, and prepared to fight on. But now, with less of a pit in their stomachs. , here we go!

    Reaction to announcement of select committee to focus on climate change in reaction to existential crisis. Appears that slightly less than half of Congress has a back up planet.
