I post bills as they pass through the United States Congress.

Each post has relevant hashtags like the bill information, origin chamber, etc. Posts are made as soon as actions are available in the Congress API, not necessarily as they happen.

Long bill titles may be truncated to fit in posts.

You might not want to get
#sick while on a #cruise, or you may end up like #MikeCameron from Braham, Minnesota:

Mike Cameron, a man from Braham, Minnesota, won a free cruise with
#NorwegianCruiseLines but ended up with a $47,000 #medical #bill after falling ill with the #flu onboard[1][5].

Key details of the story:

1. Mike Cameron and his girlfriend Tamra Masterman won a free week-long Caribbean cruise on the Norwegian Cruise Line Encore.

2. The cruise departed from Miami on January 5, 2025[1][5].

3. During the trip, Cameron contracted the flu and required medical treatment in the ship's medical center[1].

4. He spent four days in the medical ward, receiving oxygen, catheter placement, IV medications, and X-rays[8].

5. The couple had purchased travel insurance from Norwegian Cruise Line that covered medical expenses up to $20,000[1].

6. Despite having insurance, they were charged $47,000 for the medical treatment[1][5].

7. The cruise line maxed out two of their credit cards on file, leaving them with a remaining balance of $21,000[1].

8. Norwegian Cruise Line stated that their pricing was "closely comparable to other cruise lines and is what we believe to be fair and reasonable"[1][5].

This story has been covered by various news outlets, including FOX 9, The Independent, CBS News, and others, since late January 2025[1][5][9].
