Joe Biden has 5 essential qualities that make him the *exact* right president for this time

I have spend the last 75 days putting together a list of reasons to be excited about Joe Biden — one new reason for every day. To write this series about Joe, I’ve read a number of biographies about him, countless articles about him, his own...

After 4 years of skyrocketing Obamacare premiums under Trump-30% increase last year ALONE, I got an email the other day saying more money was available for subsidies. So this morning I redid my application and my Obamacare premium went down by $100 per month AND I signed up for a better plan. Honestly, this is a huge deal for millions of Americans, and I think most of them aren't even aware of it right now.

if you qualify. if you are under the $12k AGI you have to have Medicaid and you must now present tax return(s) first 2 years of ACA i had a gold plan for free.

if you don't live in a state with Medicaid expansion you can find a nice doorway to die in (Florida).

I'm one of them.
Until I retired, the firm I was with supplied excellent health care insurance for the wife and I. I'm now paying for that same insurance out of pocket for the tune of $460 monthly for us both. Perhaps I need to look into ACA for quotes.

Do actually think you weren't indirectly paying for the health care coverage your company brokered for you?

that are applicable to white women as well as other minority..remember, with the Big House if you so much as step out of 'wife line', you lost your kids and were put into an asylum or hell they just locked you in the attic..you might even just disappear one night and no one would go looking for you.

the white men have run roughshod over this nation for far too long- that is changing and we're NOT looking back..not even in the least. what was that moscow mitch said the other day about CEOs..they spoke back did anyone catch any?

I have a bone to pick with President Joe Rob. After all these years of decline there was finally one thing America was best at. The USA was number one in Covid 19. You name it, cases, positivity rate, hospitalizations or deaths. Anything to do with the virus, and we were at the top of the list.

But the new guy had to ruin all that. "Take the vaccine," he says. "Wear a mask. Social distance. Stay home if you feel sick." And now look what's happened. Brazil has stolen our thunder. We are no longer number one. Not only in the whole world, but not even in our own hemisphere. It's very sad.

Not closing Guantanamo (yes, I know he was roadblocked)

Thank you. now we have something to talk about.

I will agree with you on #3 and politicians suck.

#1 and #2 you already agreed that they really aren't issues because of circumstance.

Accountability is here!..we are in a very unique position and the sky's the limit!

just sit back and relax..let ole uncle joe take care of us now.

i for one am happy i no longer wake up in cold sweat and terror knowing Trump is president. it's a great feeling not to have that anxiety anymore.

I should have added, every president has their list. I still quite liked Obama. I don't use that list to dismiss him, only to acknowledge some things I don't like, about a person I do like. Critiquing something we like is possibly the most true form of honesty, masochists aside of course.
