The Animal Room

The basking stone looks perfect, good UVB, hiding spots, shade spots, heat gradient away from the heat lamp, water bowl for getting in and water bottle for drinking - fantastic setup 🫡

Oh my gosh - they look just like my lady Mellow! You dont see many with that much black spotting.

Jsyk people say not to use reptile sand. I used it with Mellow for over a year with no issues at all before switching to reptile carpet 🤷‍♂️ but worth mentioning

They will love all the hiding spots!

Thank you so much!!

Slurp is skiddish and bites so many people dont give enough credit to how beautiful his coloration is. He deserves just as much love even if he is a little warrior! Lol

Slurp!

He is pretty skiddish so I am thrilled to get good picture of him

Part is greed 100%; drug companies, hospitals, insurance, etc.

Another part, more significant:
-Overall costs of care increased 7.5% in 2023; advancing tech, spike in usage, etc.
-Aging population
-Weight loss drugs unexpectedly cost carriers billions

Many carriers actually lost money in 2024

Welcome to Medicare The official U.S. government website for Medicare, a health insurance program for people age 65 or older and younger people with disabilities.

Correct. They had the wrong amount but whether you are taking medications or not, you should get one.

In most counties, there are some low-cost options such as the Wellcare Value Script, Cigna Saver, etc. but of course that depends on your area.

You can see every Part D option on Medicare.gov.

What a wild conclusion

Damn, what's next, confetti? Look at all those tags, emojis, image, etc. That " , " grammar looks familiar.

The open-ended questioning is the strategy that people like Tucker Carlson use: "Now why would they do that?" - it's for people to assume nefarious conclusions.

You cause infighting 100%

The way youre intentionally pretending bots only haunt one account backs up my guess.

But good question. Seems like youre focused on leftwing infighting: exaggerated attacks feigning ignorance, perhaps against anything "moderate".

Impossible to say but perhaps just some US conservative troll.

What an embarrassing thing to say 😂😂

No i mean i literally dont think it is a human. The account responded with term-highlighted screens within 80 seconds.

#1 I did *not* say change or leave Cigna or that Cigna is bad. I am simply stating that *all* Medigap plan premiums increase annually.

#2 You are incorrect on the Part D Late Enrollment Penalty. It is *1%* of the base beneficiary premium (currently $36.78) for each month without it for life.

PSA: If you dont have employer health insurance, please contact a free local expert in the next couple of months regarding 2026 changes. This primarily pertains to Medicare and ACA (AKA Healthcare.gov AKA Individual/Family).

The amount of confidently wrong info I see online is skyrocketing.

Notice: Many of the replies to Pete's post but especially in response to Carolyn's message are unrelated, inaccurate or misleading. I am assuming people just misunderstand this very confusing and intricate topic.

Seek a local expert for advice.

Oh, you're a bot. Nice cropped photo auto-replies, the search terms are still highlighted 😭

Hey might want to update your 2019 article 😂😂 he insured staffers shortly after this came out lol.

Even it stayed as a $400 monthly stipend, youre mad he gave staffers choice of their coverage? 😂 that means you must be FURIOUS with the current administration's decisions if even this makes you mad

Back in 2019 out of over 800,000 donors? That's incredible!!

And out of that tiny percentile, none were sought-out PACs and etc. like most candidates actively do

Makes me support Buttigieg even more for sure!

The ACA will still be in place. The ACA is not ending. Only one segment of subsidies is set to expire that Biden put in place. Pre-existing conditions will not be a factor per usual and there is no pre-existing conditions review per usual.

Talk to a financial advisor. It is not possible for many people but you can see if it is possible or beneficial to skim under the 400% FPL. Usually this has to do with timing SS, pulling IRA funds, etc.

Oh gosh, Pete.

It would be cool if volunteer insurance agents could reply to comments or something. I started to but it appears nearly everyone could use some guidance 😭

No, very inaccurate. I recommend talking to a local agent.

All gap plans go up annually, including Cigna.

Yes, there can be a Part D Late Enrollment Penalty but it is not $35 per month at all.

Contact an agent

Unfortunately, high rate increases were expected regardless of administration. UnitedHealthcare is also "community-rated" which is affected by overall health in the area. Also, starting at age 69, UHC tacks on an additional 3% increase per year.

Take a look at how "trial rights" work --> February 🤫

Individual/Medicare insurance agent here.

If Enhanced APTCs (subsidies) are not extended, which they still can be, I expect uninsured rates and medical debt to spike. This is going to hit elderly, disabled and self-employed people the hardest and no one is aware.

Like I said, I'm not interested in bickering - I dont want another Twitter

Seems a bit hostile

The 911 hotline began federally and then was transferred to the states. It was a process of integration with some of the funding and regulation being on the federal level to this day.

Maybe it make sense to do it similarly?

I suspect it is AI-generated

I wish I could believe him.

It would be nice if the VP were making a genuine offer for civil debate. Unfortunately, this administration has a long unwavering track record of division, bullying and malicious intent.

Opposing info has only been weaponized thus far - why would I believe him now?

No, I think you misunderstand me

BlueSky is unique in that it is primarily like-minded users allowing discussion instead of debate. It is also a supportive environment.

The things you mention are not new or novel. I dont believe users want another copy of existing platforms.

What I am saying is that perhaps this is a pleasant environment because it is primarily like-minded users.

And maybe it would nice to have a spot where it stays that way.

If the right floods this platform soon, I suspect BlueSky will no longer be unique

Do you get some kind of satisfaction on here, have a particular goal or what?

I scrolled through your replies tab for a sec and it is very consistent: sarcasm, making fun of others, putting people down and belittlement.

Is it the "owning the libs" troll feeling you like or something else?
