This is a real problem. $9,450 is still a hell of a lot better than no cap at all, but it’s still crazy high for those w/chronic medical expenses who hit the cap every year.
Quote Tweet
When the ACA first capped out-of-pocket costs in 2014, the limit was $6,350 for one person.
Next year, it will be $9,450, amounting to an increase of nearly 49% in ten years. healthinsurance.org/glossary/out-o

This means unless there's a district w/only one Dem candidate (or a presumptive nominee), I don't even know who to raise $ money for...& VA's filing deadline isn't until April. Furthermore, VA law doesn't allow incumbents to accept donations during the legislative session anyway.

Here we go: I’ve spent the last (very painful) few months reporting my sexual assault to MSU. The university insists its making progress. But is it?
I hope you will read my story to understand just how far MSU has left to go if they truly “stand with survivors.”
Quote Tweet
State News culture editor Miranda Dunlap reported her sexual assault to MSU. That decision has led to a long, painful process punctuated by institutional missteps, insensitivity and hypocrisy.
