Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If this helps someone - I’m a woman who is not pregnant and under 65 with no serious health issues.
I made an appointment with CVS last week using their app and got the newest Covid booster yesterday. The pharmacist said they got a shipment in on Saturday.
My insurance covered it like all the ones before. Going forward who knows what will happen, but that’s my recent experience.
I’m at California’s biggest not for profit HMO, which is generally pretty good at covering stuff like this. They are still “reviewing” the FDA guidelines.
They’re probably stuck between a rock and a hard place. Fewer vaccinated people means sicker patients, and those costs get passed along to everyone else in the coverage pool. So higher rates.
But if you do give shots outside of recommended guidelines, you can sued by people who want to blame something on off label use.
Can the states themselves maybe create limitations on those lawsuits for COVID vaccines for a period of time?
Oh this is interesting! Good to know, I had no idea. Thank you!
The newest booster is out?
Yes I got it today also at cvs. I'm 56 with health issues
For some reason, I thought they were going to be on or after September 18.
Good to know.
That's a statement that'll always be true, gonna need more specifics
The one that becomes/became available after the end of August 2025 in the US.
They need names like hurricanes.
