Americans’ pent-up fury with the nation’s health insurance industry burst into the spotlight last week after the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in midtown Manhattan. They flooded social media with posts and videos about denials of medical treatments and claims, as well as other frustrations with the complicated system. The majority of insured US adults had at least one health insurance problem – including denial of claims – in the span of a year, according to a survey released in June 2023 by KFF, a nonprofit health policy research group. Still, 81% of respondents rated their health insurance as “excellent” or “good,” the same survey found. Roughly 41% of adults had debt caused by medical or dental bills, according to a 2022 KFF Health Care Debt Survey.

The global oil markets are weighed down by ample supply and demand concerns, in part due to China's flagging economy. "So the global oil market is softer and that creates possibly an opportunity to take some further action," Yellen said. The US has been tightening its noose on Russian energy revenues. The measures have allowed the global energy markets to continue functioning in an orderly fashion — which prevents price shocks and inflation — but still limit Russia's oil revenue. In November, Russia's oil revenue fell 21% from a year ago amid weak energy prices, according to Bloomberg calculations based on official data.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday the league’s partnership with Roc Nation, the entertainment company founded by rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z, is “not changing” amid the civil lawsuit filed against Jay-Z accusing him of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl. “We are aware of the civil allegations and Jay Z’s really strong response to that," Goodell said at a press conference following a league meeting in Irving, Texas. But from our standpoint our relationship is not changing with them, including our preparations for the next Super Bowl." The NFL and Roc Nation entered a partnership in 2019 for the company to serve as the league’s “live music entertainment strategist.” Roc Nation has since annually produced the halftime show at the Super Bowl, including Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming performance in New Orleans in February. “These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!!

The New York Police Department is now looking into whether a denied insurance claim related to that injury played a role in the shooting, Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told Fox News on Tuesday. Refusals to pay for care are more common for people with employer-based health insurance or private insurance compared to people with public insurance, such as Medicare and Medicaid. Another KFF report published last year found nearly 17% of in-network claims were denied in 2021 among people with Obamacare coverage. When patients get denied, Gaffney said, they may not think to appeal, leaving them with medical debt. “Our health care is not seen as a right.

The announcement comes a week after the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case involving state bans on puberty-suppressing medication and other forms of transition-related care for minors.

WASHINGTON — In legacy mode, outgoing President Joe Biden’s White House is warning the Republicans who are about to take power against repealing his biggest achievements. During his 2024 campaign, Trump said, “We will rescind all unspent funds under the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act.”Republicans won a 53-seat Senate majority and a slim House majority of 220-215 in the 2024 elections. Other Republicans say there are plenty of other places for the GOP to find cuts to finance their multi-trillion-dollar effort. Murphy said he also favors slashing Affordable Care Act subsidies under the Inflation Reduction Act, which the Biden administration has used to limit insurance premiums for many in the middle class. “I think a lot of it needs to go away.”Asked whether the slim margins could hinder House Republicans when it comes to passing the major party-line measures, Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., said it’s a familiar dynamic for them.

"I mean, it would sort of seem pretty obvious that if Kash gets in, he’s going to be taking somebody’s place, right?" Trump said, responding to a question about whether he would fire Wray if he didn't resign on his own.

And what absolutely cannot, must not change is our commitment to doing the right thing, the right way, every time."

Even when those circumstances existed, though, agents had to get approval from superiors in order to plan an arrest in a sensitive location. The idea that Trump might allow ICE agents to arrest anywhere, even inside schools and houses of worship, without the current limitations began circulating in Project 2025, a list of policy proposals distributed by the Heritage Foundation prior to the election. Some church leaders say they have faced harassment for providing sanctuary space to migrants and are already having conversations about the impacts of a policy change on sensitive locations. The church leader asked that NBC News not use their name because of safety concerns for their congregation. One former DHS official said change the sensitive locations policy might be welcome news for some agents who have felt stymied by restrictions on where they can operate and felt the policy was “abused” by wanted individuals in the past.
