Public option seems to be the new en vogue democratic healthcare plan. Probably because no one actually knows how it’d work.
You’re gonna have risk pool imbalance and have to keep injecting cash like Minnesota pre ACA
Cuban, you've been in the healthcare game a very short amount of time. Please, I beg of you, shut the fuck up! America needs a public option.

The gaps here are not all that large in the scheme of things but people who can’t tell the truth about it aren’t good people to entrust with power over complicated policy questions or political strategy.
Listen I would like a fiscally responsible center right government, but let’s not pretend like the pension crisis we have today isn’t partially because of Jim Thompson and Jim Edgar

If you ever feel braindead, just remember that 70% of "Medicare for All" supporters believe they will keep their current health insurance plan.

This is an insane choice. The vote was 106-73.
Between Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and minority leader Jim Jordan, one does not get the sense the GOP learned literally anything at all.
Being a “doctor” doesn’t actually mean you know anything about healthcare systems.
Medicare for all is bad policy. It doesn’t actually fix the underlying problems
We will still end up spending ~18% of GDP on healthcare, 50% more than the next highest in the OECD.

Got this text unprompted from a friend who's a liberal influencer.
Anti-BAAJA groups are offering tens of thousands of dollars to moderately-sized accounts to spread anti-BAAJA talking points. I've almost never seen anything like this.

Ideologically, none of these people are even mildly close to Darren Bailey.
-cut taxes for boomers
-projects get cut to offset revenue decline
-get mad and request state bail out
Asshole local governments are retaliating against the voters for approving Amendment 3 by threatening to cut important projects.
Cut your damn staff and salaries and cut the waste at the sheriff’s offices.
Myriad examples have been given over the last six months.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
When you cut taxes, you have less money to spend on services. That’s how budgets work. Prop 3 will result in a recurring $12 billion loss for local governments.

BREAKING: Reindustrialization goes nuclear. America approves its first advanced nuclear facility at an industrial site, a major Dow chemical manufacturing plant in Texas.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission just approved a construction permit for four X-energy Xe-100 reactors, designed to supply both electricity and high-temperature steam to Dow’s chemical manufacturing operations. Chemical production is traditionally a very energy-intensive process, requiring large amounts of electricity and heat.
This marks the first U.S. construction permit for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors in nearly 60 years.
