You said, and I quote, that it was "DOA". As for Murray, no details on what sort of concession she made yet. Could be anything.

Furthermore, let's work thru Murrays logic: If G-C passes/signed into law, her concession is meaningless since ACA is dead anyway...

...if G-C fails, then Alexander/Murray still has to pass the Senate, House &signed into law w/in a week or so to have effect on 2018 rates.

I may be wrong (or they may extend the deadline if a deal is cut), but I believe the final deadline for carrier contracts is 9/27.

Depending on how the contracts work, the carriers might have jacked up rates for 2018 EVEN IF CSR reimbursements are locked in.

What is this reality you live in where left-wing activists trying to stop Republicans from repealing the ACA makes them stronger?

Of course we should do something. I am calling myself But the panicky red alerts are pathetic and weak. I'm focused on the cause

I think you're underestimating how important those alerts can be in terms of reaching people who are unaware of what's happening

not useful to me. They just give me needless anxiety. That's not leadership

I mean, those same people organize protests, provide phone numbers and scripts, and give updates on who to target.
