OMGosh!!! I didn’t know that about healthcare in Georgia! I can’t wrap my head around that kind of evil. We voted absentee weeks ago. Decided not to take a chance on mail and took our ballots to the BOE. I have pestered my family about voting. My hubs made sure his 100 yr old mother got her ballot and then posted it for her. We live in a densely conservative county (state)…I just cringe at all of the yard signs. It’s discouraging.

There is just no bottom to how low they will go. It is mind-boggling.

This sent me looking…to be clear, this change is not immediate, it begins in 2023. Private brokers can match you up with subsidized plans now, but not everyone knows that. And the emphasis on the effects varies with the news source, but according to VOX, those who just let their coverage roll over without shopping for other plans would find, if they don’t pay attention, that coverage simply ends and they’re stuck. Georgia does not and still won’t have a state system as all the other states that don’t participate in the federal access system do. There will be litigation very fast to stop this, but yes, this is rotten.

I have no words for how concerned I am about my neighbours to the south. Just know that I am holding you ALL in my prayers.
