Is it cold in here?:

Seeing Faye and Bubbles develop healthy relationship standards is so nice.

Welcome, new person!
It's especially nice to see given how traumatized each one has been. That they are working through their pain to build something healthy is inspiring.

2) When I voted "other" in the poll I was thinking of Cossette.

Seems like they would have been covered. But didn’t Dora say she wasn’t going to take Faye off the insurance or something right away so that her hospital stay for alcohol poisoning would be covered?

Point of order from a resident: it's only a requirement that you HAVE it, not that you GET it. It's not "everyone is covered" as is believed, it's a requirement that you have it or you can't get your state taxes back. That's it. It's intended to get you to be covered, but doesn't provide for everyone in the state. The state is a master of manipulating the truth, she might not be eligible for free care(MassHealth) due to her making too much and she might not be able to afford to buy it. So she actually might not have ANY health insurance and what she might get from the state in taxes is a fraction of what she'd have to shell out for health insurance costs.
BenRG:
To me, this strip is mostly about Faye and just how insecure she is in emotional terms. There is a part of her that genuinely believes she is worthless and is always on the lookout for early warning signs that she's going to be abandoned. It's what really killed her relationship with Angus (although there were other big factors in there, most of which were not from her) and she's still having to constantly fight them.
Of course, Bubbles has her own self-esteem issues and it's lovely in lots of ways watching the two of them take reassurance from each other. It's really clear that they both want this to work and it's good that they're both making an effort to understand each other.

The skirt is quite short (at least on Bubbles), ending about mid-thigh. I find myself wondering if she's also wearing leggings or pants; I think it would work so long as the colour matches.

I won't lie. I did not understand a word of this.
