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. :)

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.

Aside from higher prices, this has led to providers pulling out of the exchanges leaving some with only one or even no providers. That is what the failing part is all about.

Worth noting that the ACA originally included a public option run by the Feds that would have corrected for this so that (especially rural) areas weren't completely at the mercy of the decisions of insurance companies. It was stripped out to appease Republicans.

Well dammit. I have officially stayed in my condo one year too long, as all the appliances are now starting to go. Fridge earlier this year, now washer & dryer. Water heater's been hanging on by a thread - the motor has to be restarted every few days.

Ugh, brenda, I'm sorry. Time to go live in the cabin?
