Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

A 28-year-old person in Orange County who earns $35,000 a year will see the monthly cost of the typical silver-tier plan rise from $130 to $290, according to estimates from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. The typical family of four with a household income of $85,000 would see their monthly cost go from $489 to $901.

These increases are happening in order to pay for Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy.

People dependent on the ACA/Obamacare marketplaces are typically less wealthy than the local median. Florida household median income by family size is:

  • 1 person - $65,801
  • 2 people - $81,109
  • 3 people - $93,983
  • 4 people - $107,712

...AND they'll still blame Democrats for it. Just wait.

They're calling it "Obama care hikes" instead of "Republicans and trump hate you price gouging to kill public health care"

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Please don't call that shitty compromise public healthcare. The ACA is a giveaway to private health insurers. It is the furthest thing from public healthcare and calling it that is only going to make more people shy away from the idea.

That doesn't roll off the tongue, though. /s

Seriously, though, it's infuriating how the fascists always get the advantage of the simple sound bite.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

That is one of the core tenets of fascism though. Simple sound bites for simple people. Repeat until absorbed.
