This graph implies either 1996 was 1000 years ago or the wheel was invented 90 years ago.

This is gold. Absolute gold.

Maybe the reason why Aslan called the Pevensies to Narnia was because three of them were meant to die young in a train crash. Maybe Aslan let them grow old as Kings and Queens because they were brilliant people who could’ve been wonderful adults. Maybe Aslan chose them because one of them would need the strength to live on when everyone else was gone, and what better way is there to prepare for such a daunting tragedy than to defeat an evil witch at the tender age of twelve?

Okay but seriously if you’re anxious about political results to the point of literal crippling anxiety you genuinely need help. This goes across the board and I’m saying this as a kindness because that’s not normal and not healthy.

The ACA is why insurance is so darn expensive. If insurance has to take on more risk and pay out more for "preventive" services then they have to jack up the costs to make money. The federal subsidies are the only way this is affordable. Too bad we can't just make it possible for people to shop around and compare pricing for medical services so the free market can regulate pricing.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

The ACA *subsidizes* insurance for anyone who makes less than 400% of the federal poverty line. *And* it mandates insurers cover anyone regardless of prior illness with no lifetime caps, *and* cover a broad range of essential services. https://t.co/BHJPq5MgLF

The ACA also regulated pricing of insurance plans, so insurers can't arbitrarily jack up prices without an explanation, and required them to spend corporate profits on care if they exceed a certain level.

And employer-provided plans were required to cover essential services too.

There was basically no insurance for individuals before the ACA. Plans that did exist could be denied or revoked for any reason, or exclude basic things like checkups or preventative care.

If you didn't have insurance from your employer, you were screwed. And maybe even then.

The ACA also expanded Medicaid, turning it from a tiny safety net for low-income families into a broad-based free public insurance plan available to anyone making up to 138% of the federal poverty line.

In 2010, just 54 million people were on Medicaid. Now it's 88 million.

— Matthew Chapman (@fawfulfan) January 17, 2024
And all of this expansion of health care was financed by new payroll taxes on the ultra-wealthy.

The ACA was the largest transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor since the Great Society. Which is why the GOP hated it and spent a decade trying to kill it.

— Matthew Chapman (@fawfulfan) January 17, 2024
This is why it's wrong to claim, as many do, the ACA was "originally a right-wing plan from the Heritage Foundation."

The Heritage plan was *just* to fine people with no coverage. None of the other stuff. No subsidies, no consumer protections, no Medicaid, no taxing the rich.

— Matthew Chapman (@fawfulfan) January 17, 2024
All of that stuff was a progressive Democratic health care plan.

And it was so successful that people just take it for granted now that this is how insurance works. They don't even remember how bad it was before Obama, Biden, and congressional Democrats came in and fixed it.

— Matthew Chapman (@fawfulfan) January 17, 2024
Can we do more? Absolutely. Some states are looking to create public options in the ACA exchanges where people can buy into Medicaid, to get to true universal health care.

But it's worth noting, these proposals are only possible because they build on top of what the ACA created.

This is why the power bill keeps going up. They spend billions on this and how do they pay for it? By passing the cost on to the consumer. Which would be fine if they didn't come up with something new every few years.

I haven’t stopped laughing at this
