Trump has... -Run blatantly political ads using taxpayer money -Shuttered a longstanding arts & culture institution because he can’t put his name on the building -Hung banners with his face on them from a government building If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it?

He’s not running but wants you to vote for all of the republicans and pretend they are him. Using our money for his ads is illegal.

Right now, while the country is under record-level economic strain and we need the government to step up and deal with skyrocketing prices, the Trump administration is spending an undisclosed amount of your money on propaganda advertising. This is reprehensible and a terrible use of taxpayer dollars

This alone is an impeachable offense but unless we win a big majority in the Senate, it's a moot point and he knows it. They'll keep Mitch McConnell propped up long enough to acquit him again.

A couple quick observations here, which should be obvious. 1) insurance “risk pools” work by requiring younger/healthier people who make few or no claims to sign up and pay premiums alongside older/less healthy people who do, essentially covering their costs.

5) there is a more logical explanation: lots of cheaper ACA plans have very high deductible and copays, so that you’d still avoid getting health care unless or until your seriously needed it. People choose these plans either because they think they’re healthy and won’t need it, or can’t afford it.
