Yet another reason I don't have any stickers on my car.  When my ex was in college and covered her car in Grateful Dead crap she was regularly pulled over by the local yokels searching for drugs.

Nice, though, how far you had to get into the story to find out he'd been released.

Think he would have been pulled over to have his papers checked if he had been driving a Prius with BLM and Biden/Harris bumper stickers?

I have a prediction.

The COVID panic will be over by mid-spring.

Biden hailed as our savior.

That's not really a prediction, given the the governors and mayors who are Democrats are already saying we can't stay closed down anymore.

I am woman, watch me trim
My genitals into a quim
Because I identify as another sex
And I insist you genuflect
To the "gender" I select
Instead of seeing me as one of life's rejects

Oh, yes! Though I say
Men and women are the same
Do not dare to tell me nay
If you don't use my new name
If you "dis" me, I'll do most anything
Let me warn (warn)
I will "cancel" you ("cancel" you)
I am woman...

GoodRX should list the prices at various pharmacies in your area so you can find the cheapest price of a specific medication. It can, in some cases, act as a form of insurance, I think, to help reduce the price even more. 

(But: why no doctor? Has your doctor retired?)

I was with Kaiser Permanente; I lost my health coverage in July.  I will be able to see him again in a week, but I'll have to pay out of pocket.

Ugh. My condolences. I had to call my insurance yesterday to fix a screwup with a medication, but I'm still glad they are there. The good news is, hopefully they will give you a cheaper rate as you are paying out of pocket.

Wasn't the Unaffordable Care Act, aka Obummercare, supposed to prevent that?////////////////

In #41 Kosh's Shadow said: Wasn't the Unaffordable Care Act, aka Obummercare, supposed to prevent that?////////////////

This is one place the media really fell down. Romneycare was the model and Massachusetts could not afford the subsidies needed to give everyone coverage. Costs went UP when it took effect, not down. A thinking economist could have figured that out - make something cheaper to the consumer, and it will get used more. It was supposed to move people to doctors instead of the ER, but what happened is that people with coverage but no doctors (because it did not add supply) went to the ER with things that did not need such expensive care.

But the media failed to cover it.

Of course, they also don't point out a significant reason for the increasing health care costs is that Medicare and Medicaid do not pay enough for many procedures to cover the cost, so the medical providers charge everyone else more to make up the difference.

Medicare for all? Means no medical care for anyone, because providers will go out of business. Another victory for socialism!

The number covered under Ocare was a fabrication.

I did the data dumpster dive at the time into the numbers, easy enough but not one "journalist"did.

They claimed 15 million were covered under Ocare.

13 million lost were covered but lost individual plans and switched to Ocare.

Of the 2 million left 80% were subsidized.

That left 400,000 where actually not previously covered by insurance.

Claim; 15 Million, reality, 400,000.
