Iโm furious to read from an analysis of theEpstein files that the NYT was offered photos of of the now prez and young girls in a pool back in 2015. The NYT turned Epstein down. Who, what & why, I wanna know.
I think itโs time that the public tells the NYT we are cancelling our subscriptions.

Insurance increase guess a month ago 500-1200 but actually I found out it is going to $1366 a month
Well my guess-tรญmate from the beginning of October was wrong by $166.

Good lord. You donโt even know your own writing.
You wrote โThe 20 million have no idea because they are not hearing the message.โ
Yes many of those 20 million are aware and didnโt vote for this.
So I called BS on your erroneous statement. Maybe take a writing class.

Spell it out for you. Not everyone has an employer based plan. I am one of those because I was fortunate and retired well ahead of Medicare age. My $500 pm is going on $1250 pm with the gutting of ACA.

No letter.Except our state says that on top of losing the subsidy, premium costs are to rise 22%. (I pay 500 pm for my own insurance) so I am expecting a shocking premium of $1250. And my deductible is already super high so insurance pays nothing really in a year. As to your over generalizationโฆ

Thatโs an ignorant attitude. Many face huge increases because they donโt have employer based insurance.I retired early,years away from Medicare. my premiums for a super high deductible shitty plan are $500 pm and going up to at least $1250 a month & I know my income isnโt going up proportionately

Im sorryโฆI am in the same boat. With ACA $500 pm and going up to at least 1250 per month. Huge deductible already so not much wiggle room to increase the deductible and out of pocket costs.

So all of you posting about the 20m not paying attention or getting what they voted for can just fuck off until you grow compassion.Not everyone has an employee based health plan.I admit I do miss my wage slaveโs gold standard insurance but no one on their deathbed wished they had worked more.

AT LEAST to $1250 per month for at least as shitty of a plan. I have enjoyed my early retirement, it has allowed me to travel and dive into the world of art. I am not impoverished but I do live within my budget and pay of my cc every month. This increase I have to absorb somehow, somehow.

Wrong. Many of those people are like myself. Donโt have the luxury of employer insurance. I retired 10 years before I am eligible for Medicare and have been a self pay for a shitty plan that pays nothing, has a 8,000 deductible and cost 500 p.m. and when ACA is slaughtered, my premiums will go to

Am I glad I retired early? Hell yes. I have seen incredible places and taken up many art forms. But premiums like this are super brutal.
Sorry to pick your comment out of the many that denigrate those losing at the insurance roulette that is our system, but it needed to be countered.

$500 a month for a plan that never pays anything out and has a 7500, donโt know it could be 9k now, deductible and when ACA is pulled, my premiums per month for the same shitty plan will skyrocket to at least $1200.
Your statement is incorrect and you like others here forget many have to self-pay.

Hey, not all of those 20+million. I retired well before when I had thought I would be able to.Losing my excellent gold standard insurance was the trade off at retiring 10-12 years early. I live within my means and if I use credit, it is paid off at the end of the month. My insurance premiums are

I am not impoverished but I do live within my means. My insurance will go from $500 a month to at least $1250. At least. With everything else being so expensive I am aghast to think 25% of my monthly income will go to an insurance plan that covers nothing, has a $7500 deductible.

Well, you and me both then. 9 months and no hassles,no subscriptions, nothing bezos so no feeding that oligarch. It is easy to do when your mind stops thriving on the dopamine high (anticipatory and receiving cycles keep you hooked read some psychology). Besides, your bank account is better off.
