Trump said he plans to change the Affordable Care Act, which provides healthcare for 45 million Americans. AdvertisementDonald Trump's return to the Oval Office could mean changes to Americans' healthcare coverage, based on his previous comments and actions while president. AdvertisementAs president, he will also have the power to influence America's healthcare landscape, including insurance coverage, drug price negotiations, government health and safety regulations, and reproductive healthcare access. Any changes to Medicaid and Medicare under Trump could also cause those with ACA insurance see a reduction in their care options. This could mean some Americans on ACA plans could face higher out-of-pocket costs and fewer in-network care options.

☆ America's defeat in Vietnam offers a game plan for Ukrainian victory
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-16 | by ( ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

Ukraine can defeat Russia if it and its Western backers learn from America's failure in the Vietnam War, a Ukrainian security expert argues. Danylyuk attributes America's failure in Vietnam to a "protracted multi-dimensional strategy by the Soviet Union, on whose help it was completely dependent." Crucial ways to defeat Russia's invasion can be found in the Soviet Union's multi-pronged strategy in Vietnam, analyst Oleksandr Danylyuk says. AP Photo/John T. WheelerThe first prong of this strategy would be to "stabilize the frontline and to render any successful offensive actions by Russian troops impossible." "The only explanation for the lack of a mass anti-war movement and large-scale protests is the absence of an organized and popular opposition in Russia," Danylyuk said.

T-Mobile 's network was among the systems hacked in a damaging Chinese cyber-espionage operation that gained entry into multiple U.S. and international telecommunications companies, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday citing people familiar with the matter. "At this time, T-Mobile systems and data have not been impacted in any significant way, and we have no evidence of impacts to customer information." It was unclear what information, if any, was taken about T-Mobile customers' calls and communications records, according to the WSJ report. Earlier in October, the Journal reported that Chinese hackers accessed the networks of U.S. broadband providers, including Verizon Communications , AT&T and Lumen Technologies , and obtained information from systems the federal government uses for court-authorized wiretapping.

Under a 25% tariff on goods from China, the Wall Street investment bank sees an EPS loss for Apple of 9.2%. Those estimates make Apple the fifth most vulnerable tech company to potential tariffs on goods from China in Morgan Stanley's research coverage. Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan agrees, seeing any tariff impact as "manageable." He sees a 60% tariff on Chinese goods possibly resulting in about a 4% hit to Apple's EPS. By contrast, Dell – which he noted looks positioned to be "most vulnerable" to tariffs – could see an EPS impact of up to about 90%, according to his model.
