  - All talk, no action. -- nm - ty97 Jul 1, 12:26 7
    - She co-sponsored the voting rights law. What else is she supposed to do about this? Storm the court? -- nm - spamlet Jul 1, 12:29 5
      - One of them, anyway. No mention of H.R. 1. -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 12:30 2
        
        Aren't they the same thing? -- nm - spamlet Jul 1, 12:31 1
        
        I don’t think so. HR1 is the For the People Act not the John Lewis Act. I’ve been seeing both mentioned pretty consistently. -- nm* - znufrii Jul 1, 12:34

Dental insurance really is a racket. I have double dental coverage yet don’t have full coverage for the gum graft AND implant I need. - kelly Jul 1, 12:06 4
- Shop around, some dentists will accept insurance only, wave copay, or discount. Not as much as they used too since the pandemic but who knows -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 1, 12:23
- It's is weirdly specific. You are covered for this procedure, but not if they use an elastic band or it's a Tuesday. -- nm - Baronnoo Jul 1, 12:12

  - It's early days. -- (link) - mara Jul 1, 12:33 1
    - Maybe. As I said, I have to assume they're counting on Weisselberg to make their case against Trumps since they didn't indict them at the same time. - pmb Jul 1, 12:40
