    I mean, we’re in the middle of a record breaking year for signups…

    And I’ve heard people say even 10% gets you full health coverage now. So everybody that didn’t bother for 10%, are all signing up.

    Article has pretty big names from both parties involved. And none of them will be willing to take a lose like this before a big election.

    The timing of elections right after fiscal year ends is a huge boon that goes unrecognized. Which is the only reason I’m concerned we’re talking about getting rid of it in the government.

      Sign ups are also high because all the old warhorses are getting out and realizing their new civilian friends don’t have knees that click. (Or one of any other hundred things)

        Except it’s not people who just got out…

        You can probably find the numbers somewhere. But everyone I know thats been out in the last decade already have theirs. Hell, when I got out they had a class and we filled out paperwork while still active duty

        What I have seen is a lot of elderly co-workers who have been out 30+ years realizing they’re close to retirement age with no way to pay for insurance.

        With recent changes (I believe) 10% tinnitus gets them full healthcare now. So everyone that’s ever been in is signing up so they can stop working
