Subsidy, the Biden COVID bonuses. Actually what they do is
they take the income limit off, so there's no people
making five six hundred grand a year can actually now
get subsidies from the federal government. There are zero dollar premiums,
so a lot of people in this country don't even
know they're covered because the insurance companies are incentivized to
auto enroll them.

last night over the Phoenix Suns one thirty eight to

most lopsided loss in Phoenix history and the biggest blowout
