How are people expected to handle increased health insurance costs when everything else in life has become more expensive? I think the answer is: they’re notI’ve got a genius business idea for people with few discernible skills. First you establish a “health insurance” company and get people to pay you large sums every month. Then, when a customer tries to use their insurance to cover medical costs, make a habit of denying their claim. While doing that, pay lobbyists to keep politicians amenable. Repeat this strategy until your company is worth billions.I’m not saying this is exactly how the US health insurance industry works, but it’s close enough.

3 w. ago Senate approves funding deal to end longest US government shutdown

Bill, which passed 60-40 but does not include key health concession demanded by Democrats, now heads to HouseThe Senate on Monday approved a funding package that is expected to bring to a close the longest government shutdown in US history, after a coalition of Democrats broke from their party and voted with Republicans, in a move that has enraged many in their caucus.The vote passed in a 60-40 tally, with seven Democrats and one independent joining all Republicans to approve a compromise deal that would fund most federal agencies through January. The agreement, which next goes to the House of Representatives, does not directly address the expiring tax credits for healthcare premiums, the issue at the center of the 40-day stalemate between Democrats and Republicans, though the Senate majority leader John Thune has promised a Senate vote later this year on the subsidies.
