If Dante were alive today one of the circles of hell would just be being a Nebraska football fan.

the 4th quarter is so unnecessary in football it’s just bonus minutes for the inferior team to make up ground like extra credit in junior high sad to win like that honestly

reminder: premiums also rising for employer health insurance and Medicare. It's hardly limited to ACA plans...

🚨 Today, a federal judge blocked the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)’s “medical frailty” portion of the 2025 Republican budget law (H.R. 1), which it ruled would unfairly cause eligible Medicaid enrollees to lose their health coverage.

The Trump administration has promised one-time $500 checks to 1 in 20 Americans who buy health coverage through marketplaces like Healthcare.gov. $500 will barely make a dent in Americans' skyrocketing health care costs. It's clear this is a distraction, not a fix.

More than 9 in 10 voters favor requiring hospitals to fully disclose the prices they charge before providing care, according to a new poll from the Alliance for Fair Health Pricing (AFFHP).

If sleeping is more dangerous than football, we have lost the plot.
How committed is Jalen Hurts to football? After initially being diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in London, doctors told him not to sleep as a precaution, so he had been awake for roughly 36 hours when he started against the Jaguars, throwing for 220 yards and a TD.

The Trump admin and Republicans in Congress have made deliberate decisions to weaken the ACA marketplace that millions of Americans rely on to access health care. As open enrollment season approaches, premiums are spiking and enrollment is sharply declining as a direct result.
