There are also state programs- so in a state like NY, there was a CHIP(Child Health Plus) program before the ACA. It is still there, but funded differently and now there is a penalty for not using it.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
That's fantastic, thank you Gud. Wow, 45 wasn't kidding when he said it was complicated. It might be the most accurate thing he's ever said!
Well -- and I don't mean this as a slam on Gud at all -- Gud was able to sum it up in 2 posts (although clearly the details of the system are almost endless). So it's complicated, but not impossible to understand for anyone with even the most rudimentary intellectual curiosity. (So, not Trump. He doesn't give a shit about it because the citizens of the country he "leads" don't mean a thing to him.)

Our wings are not tired.
The issue was Trump actually believing at some point that it wasn't complicated! It is extraordinarily complicated with a lot of greedy players at all levels.

BTW, my chore board is ready for the weekend. The kids will get to make their choices tonight :)

That is adorable, Gud. I hope it works well. If yours are anything like mine they will make every effort to do such a horrible job that you want to give up and just do it yourself. Or as I would tell #1 son often, "learned incompetence will not excuse you from your chores, only result in you having to do it again." It is way easier to do it all yourself, or it was for me at least, but it isn't the best in the long run.

The amount of chores on that chart to be done, and the prospect that you have to do what your kids don't do, actually made me start panicking for a minute, and it's not even my house.
...you may have guessed that my housekeeping skills fall in the category of "barely adequate" on a good day.

That doesn't show making dinners, paying bills, and that I still mow half the yard even if the one of the kids does pick that one. :)
That said, there are always some chores that end up falling off because I run out of time.

Jesus. That's overwhelming.

Though I think maybe my anxiety is ramped up pretty high today, because other people's chores shouldn't freak me out.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Now that healthcare drama is temporarily off the table, I think a lot of us suddenly have a lot of brainpower back that we'd devoted to worrying. My brain is searching around for major projects to tackle.
