"Marketplace plans from the Affordable Care Act no longer feel very affordable to many people, because Congress did not extend a package of enhanced subsidies that expired at the end of 2025. An estimated 4.8 million will go without coverage this year."

A teacher called over a dozen therapists to find mental health care following a miscarriage.
An EMT spent months looking for one after a suicide attempt.
They couldn’t find any in-network provider able to see them. Now they're suing their insurer.

Thanks to the Trump Administration’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which slashed Medicaid by more than $900 billion over the next 10 years, the Alameda Health System has taken drastic budget cuts for the coming year. That means, in part, laying off 296 employees across the system. https://alamedapost.com/news/alameda-health-system-lay-off-300-massive-medicaid-cuts/

@etchedpixels @landley @ghul @jti42 @pkal I mean, the reason to pay #RedHat & #SUSE for any business is that they offer very high #SLAs for those willing to pay (i.e. #Finance) and those customers basically demand to get a named account manager they can yell at and expect a "Yes, we'll fix it ASAP!" as the only reply.
- Not shure if Red Hat still offers an #insurance option at their highest support tiers for #damages due to software errors and associated #downtime. This was something #Microsoft would never offer for #Windows!
That the fixes and improvements would get contributed back to #Linux was and is the original premise, even tho Red Hat decided to axe their "gateway drug" ( #CentOS) used to lure businesses into supporting, targeting and using #RHEL…

Though #MikeJohnson had signaled openness to allowing debate on the proposal, he ultimately rejected a bid to do so by politically vulnerable #Republicans who had hoped for a vote that would, at the very least, allow them to show voters they had tried to avoid rising premiums.
