      The primary recipients of the checks will be people who earn above 400% of the federal poverty line

        this is the $5000 checks that would have never been authorized by congress.

        some bullshit made up ‘refund’ going to red state residents who aren’t exactly ‘poor’, and thus more likely to not be an evil librul or darker-skinned, packaged with propaganda bullshit signed by lord shitstain himself, set to arrive as the mid-term campaign enters the final lap.

        Yes, because they had paid their premiums but didn’t use the service. Big brains at work here.

          i got a warning here last week saying the same thing. gonna lose it if i don’t use it (“it” being a rather minimal-coverage, non-aca plan, that happens to be partially public-funded, run by a nearby regional clinic).

            Not that it’s an equal comparison, but maybe that’s why they’re so against medicare for all? They think more people paying into the system is worse (which is the opposite of reality).

            No, I realize they’re against it to hurt people, just trying to find rationality where there isn’t any.

            Geniuses. Next we’ll be losing auto insurance if you don’t get in an accident.

              but first, lets raise your rates again… but because you’re such a good driver, we won’t raise 'em as much as we wanted to.
