Building up a stockpile of ventilators falls not just on this administration but every administration and congress since the SARS outbreak in 2002. Which covers both parties as control has been going back and forth.

I like how you deleted my reply so it looks better for you.

Yes you have to provide documentation (which will be provided by your previous insurance provider), but I was under the impression that was an implied understanding.

I didn’t need instructions when I used it. When I registered outside the normal enrollment period it said I have three options apply with a qualifying life event, purchase short term emergency coverage, or wait until the normal enrollment period.

It has to do with everything, the tone of the article is that Trump is purposely withholding from New York all the machines they need. When in reality we don’t have nearly enough machines.

No I rejected the source because they drew no conclusions. And if your primary source to say that an acknowledged expert is wrong, says “Ok maybe it will have a benefit, just not a large one.” That means that they are simply arguing over the magnitude at that point.

Instructions are here:

I didn’t grammar nazi them at all. Fact Check came to no conclusion because where is evidence that supports both sides. And even their expert that is saying Dr Fauci is wrong still says that it might have a modest benefit.

Both parties have done a pretty shit job if you actually look at the long term as control of Congress and the White House through three different pandemics that they should have used as an indicator to get ready.

There you go. That article was about the travel ban.

I wish we had a news media that wasn’t intensely partisan, and actually did research. It took me all of a minute to find that report from John Hopkins.

Do a Google search.

“It wasn’t even effective” Links to article that basically draws no conclusions with one side saying it worked while another side that said it didn’t work also said “it would have a modest affect.”

They’ve been carrying it since nearly the begining. They were one of the first that did the “Trump China travel ban is racist,” story.

To a certain extent this is a damned if they do, and damned if they don’t.

Except it isn’t, people who lost their job and decide to forgo COBRA coverage and instead want subsidized ACA coverage already qualify for a special enrollment period. You go to the exchange and at some point it is going to tell you that the enrollment period is closed, and there will be option to say “I have a…

No, both acts come into play. You can continue with your present health coverage by going onto COBRA, or you can elect not to. If you elect not to you have a qualifying life event and you can seek coverage under the ACA using the already allowed special enrollment period.

Recently, the Trump administration had also been facing criticism for not creating a special enrollment period for people that seek insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Reopening the marketplace, which the government controls in 38 states, would have made it easier for people who have recently lost…

Or you could realize that a most of the western media was playing down the Coronavirus until at least mid-February. Now the media is trying to re-write history saying that “No we were taking the virus seriously, why wasn’t Trump.”

Really I would make up a report on something that is easily verifiable.
