The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

As an aside on the ACA:

The math doesn't work out from either party. The GOP seems to be offering $1k-ish into your HSA, which pays for...about 1 month of Obamacare insurance. The democrats want to extend the existing subsidies for 3 years and take this as an acceptable solution.

How much are the subsidies, really? That's the missing piece of informaiton.

Also not being pointed out:

If COVID hadn't happened there would be not subsidies to extend. And everyone would be paying these exorbitant costs.

So how is the ACA in any way a success?
