@DeniseG Oof. I'm so sorry. Seems all the news I'm reading about Nebraska lately is disheartening: this, the vaccination rates, the youth minimum wage, the partnership with Turning Point USA, the fire risk from warm dry weather. There must be good things going on somewhere that I've just missed seeing.

@DeniseG Thank you for reminding me to check out News From the States regularly! And probably make a donation to them, too.

@DeniseG Oh yuck.

@DeniseG Interesting! You need to go to their data source, ValuePenguin, to see this is the cost for a 40-year-old (with a Silver plan from the ACA marketplace, as noted on the map).ValuePenguin also has a lot of additional info. For example, it notes that NY and Vermont are the two states where cost doesn't change by age, and I see those states are two of the ones with the highest costs for that 40-year-old. https://www.valuepenguin.com/average-cost-of-health-insurance

@DeniseG It bothers me, too.

@DeniseG Oof. I hope your friend had a safe drive, although I guess it was mostly vehicles other than cars which were having the problems.
