Not without un-federalising. Given that generally, red states are net receivers of cash and blue states are net payors, that seems unlikely - TX rhetoric be damned.

Not that I’d begrudge Texas taking Abbot and _Costello Paxton and kindly fucking right off, nor would I vote to spill one drop of American blood to keep them by force, of course

But I believe that die is long cast regardless.

Update: South Korea says it will send actual, meaningful numbers of troops into Pyongyang within thirty-one days, bringing a formal end to conflict on the Korean Peninsula.

/s but you know they’re thinking about it.

I pay around 600 for myself and my wife, and that’s with my employer continuing to pick up a significant share of the cost of health insurance that I literally never see a deduction or bill for.

1,800 a year beats hell out of $7,200, a $5k deductible, 20% co ins, and $11k OOP max.

I’m forty-five minutes outside a medium sized pair of cities known for a decent state university, and glad to run into town for care as needed.

Landed in the hospital three months ago with something that got me a follow-up scheduled with neuro, in the practice associated with the hospital.

Three months to the day later, I’ve only just had the suggested test and the visit is still a month out…. With an NP. Not the MD who saw me in the hospital.

Honestly, at this point, I’m only keeping after that issue because I need their clearance to get surgery for my actual, pressing, immediate, and painful concern.
