FTC to crack down on companies taking advantage of gig workers

Actually, the primary objective of the ACA is in the name...Affordable Care. And if that's the metric, it's not achieving its goal. We should also remember that the promise was to lower prices by legally forcing the younger (read: less likely to use services) to sign up. That didn't last long.

Editorial: This is why everyone calls it Obamacare. The Reps love the knock. The Dems are not wanting to remind anyone Affordable is in the name.

Note: I'm not knocking ACA per se. We should have health care. The issue is ACA is a fine example of: good idea, poor execution. And no one has the will to fix what is by most accounts not living up to its promise or need.

It was fairly affordable the first couple years. And then the insurance companies started finding loopholes and increased prices drastically every annually.

That being said, let's pray the Inflation Reduction Act fares better than ACA.

the green new deal packaged up with a deceptive name? It won't do anything.
