Broligarchs – sounds like the name of a TV series that should be in development at HBO (if they're smart). Imagine a cross between Silicon Valley and The Regime. 🤨

As awful as a second Trump term may be, there will be the occasional odd bits of unintentional entertainment as well. Imagine the Department Of Greedy Egotists announcing cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans' Benefits, and Social Security around the same time the GOP Congress is voting to extend the earlier Trump tax breaks for the filthy rich. Hilarity (and chaos) will ensue.

Lil Kalish at HuffPost:

The largest employer health benefits program for the federal government announced Friday that it will no longer cover pediatric transition-related treatment, according to a document obtained by HuffPost. The directive from the U.S. Office of Personnel and Management’s Healthcare and Insurance program comes just days after President Donald Trump signed executive orders directing federally run insurance programs to exclude coverage for gender-affirming care for people under age 19, and defining sex as only either “male or female.” The executive order on “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation” has a specific provision directing OPM to update its benefits program to “exclude coverage for pediatric transgender surgeries or hormone treatments” in its guidance to insurance carriers. OPM, the government agency that acts as human resources for the government, has recently become overtaken by billionaire Elon Musk and many of his close allies. The executive order is expected to affect not only federal workers but agencies across the federal government. It could modify requirements under the Affordable Care Act and bar hospitals that accept Medicare or Medicaid from providing gender-affirming care to patients under 19.

Friday’s directive, which was distributed to health insurance companies that work with the federal government, states that all carriers will now have to comply with the two orders. Previous Federal Employee Health Benefits programs ― including the current plan, which is active through 2025 ― did include coverage for pediatric gender-affirming care. But the document states that the orders now supersede “any previous Carrier Letter with conflicting information.” “Pursuant to the second EO, all Carriers for Plan Year 2026 ‘will exclude coverage for pediatric transgender surgeries or hormone treatments’ for the purpose of gender transition,” the document reads. “OPM recognizes that there are some bona fide medical conditions, such as precocious puberty, or therapy subsequent to a traumatic injury, where hormone treatments for individuals under the age of 19 may be lawfully covered by Carriers.” Gender-affirming care is already difficult for young people to access, and more than half of U.S. states have already enacted bans on such care.

Yet another hateful anti-trans action by Tyrant Trump: 47’s Misadministration blocks gender-affirming care plans for minors under 19 from being covered by federal agencies’ insurance plans to comply with bigoted Executive Order 14187 barring GAC for those under 19.

Trump ordered a freeze on nearly all federal grants and loans because apparently using federal resources to “advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives” of the people. Tell me how this benefits the average person?? 🙄

AN OPEN LETTER to THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Pass H.R. 6270, the State-Based Universal Health Care Act!

371 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

I strongly urge the Congressmember to support and help pass H.R. 6270, the State-Based Universal Health Care Act, introduced by Rep. Ro Khanna of California. This bill helps states test universal health plans that could be a model for a national plan - a Universal, Simple, and Affordable (USA) plan. A USA plan will drastically reduce administrative overhead, freeing billions of dollars for our health care and general welfare. With your support, states can save money and provide health care for all their residents. How H.R. 6270 moves us toward health care that is universal, simple, and affordable (USA): Mandates that participating states guarantee healthcare coverage for at least 95% of residents in the first 5 years, thus reducing the uninsured and underinsured populations to less than 5% (currently 30% in most states). Requires any state-based plan to have benefits equal to or greater than those received by beneficiaries of federal healthcare programs. Allows states to cooperate on multi-state plans. Section 1332 of the ACA does not. Enables states to integrate Medicare funds into a state plan. Section 1332 does not. This is critically important for equity. Please work to pass this bill, and then get to work passing Medicare For All. Nothing else will fully solve our healthcare crisis.
