    Our ACA health insurance is going to go up by about $300/mo next year and get significantly crappier 😐. Paycheck people have NO clue how good they have it.

        There's precedent in Penn for churches doing something similar for their parishioners. You could just start a religion for the uninsured.

        Wanna be our chief armchair philosopher? Pay is basically $150 and a happy meal once a week. Plus a 1-month old copy of The Atlantic after we’re all done with it. Good gig.

        And then to keep up the farce, you launch a product together. "We're only building and growing this business ironically!"
