Most people get insurance through their employer and most employers at least partially subsidize the cost. This doesn’t show up on your paystub like a tax would so the only way you’d ever be aware of the true cost of your plan is if you got laid off and paid for continuation of benefits (COBRA).

It doesn’t occur to most Americans that their paycheck might be higher if they had universal healthcare.

Stimulants messed up my ability to stay asleep so my provider gave me Trazodone which worked but made me too drowsy during the day (they suggested melatonin but that makes me even drowsier than the Trazodone). They switched me to Baclofen which is a muscle relaxer that helps with staying asleep which is all I need since the stimulants actually made it easier for me to fall asleep. Between that, good sleep hygiene, and a CPAP I usually get pretty good sleep nowadays.

The problem is if five Democrats who people want to vote for are in a jungle primary with two Republicans who people want to vote for, then there’s a decent chance the general election may end up with two Republicans on the ballot.

Jungle primaries are dumb, the only way they would make sense is if they used approval voting or something.
