Americans Are Skipping Meals And Borrowing Money To Pay For Health Care
LOADING ERROR LOADINGMore than 82 million Americans, or about one-third, make daily trade-offs in order to afford health care, according to a new study. AdvertisementThe Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits expired at the beginning of the year, forcing Americans enrolled in ACA health care plans to pay higher premiums. But even 25% of households that earn between $90,000 and $120,000 a year said they are making trade-offs to afford health care. Maese said that the “most striking” part of the study is that in order to afford health care, Americans are making decisions beyond health care spending. “In reality, health care affordability is not just about health care.”AdvertisementThe West Health-Gallup Center on Healthcare has been studying health care affordability since 2021, and Maese said health care is a part of the “total affordability picture in America.”“This means that healthcare is affecting the economy, and society, in many indirect ways that are rarely captured by prevailing metrics,” Maese said.

U.S. Allows Countries To Buy Russian Oil Stranded At Sea For 30 Days
LOADING ERROR LOADINGMarch 12 (Reuters) - The United States issued a 30-day license for countries to buy Russian oil and petroleum products currently stranded at sea in what Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said was a step to stabilize global energy markets roiled by the Iran war. AdvertisementThat release was part of a broader commitment by the 32-nation International Energy Agency to release 400 million barrels of oil. The agency said earlier on Thursday that he war in the Middle East was creating the biggest oil supply disruption in history. Bessent, in a statement on X released hours after benchmark oil prices shot above $100 a barrel, said the measure was “narrowly tailored” and “short-term” and would not provide significant financial benefit to the Russian government. The U.S. Treasury previously issued a 30-day waiver on March 5 specifically for India, allowing New Delhi to buy Russian oil stuck at sea.

Key Senate chairman hopes to soon have first public oversight hearings on war with Iran
Senate Armed Services Chairman Roger Wicker is planning soon to hold the first public oversight hearing of the Iran war with top US Department of Defense officials testifying, CNN has learned. As the war with Iran nears the two-week mark, President Donald Trump has continued to make conflicting comments about when it might end. And to date, the GOP-led Congress has not held any open oversight hearings of the conflict, although there have been several classified sessions for members. Wicker made his intentions known the same day Senate Majority Leader John Thune downplayed the need for separate public hearings into the war – something at least one member of his conference told CNN she wants. “Public hearings featuring cabinet-level witnesses have been a standard part of congressional oversight throughout our history, including recent military conflicts, as well as during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
