Obamacare Enrollment Expected To Drop By Nearly Five Million As Costs Surge Via American Greatness, Enrollment in the Affordable Care Act marketplace is projected to fall by nearly 5 million people this year as rising premiums and higher deductibles force many Americans to reconsider whether they can still afford health insurance coverage, according to a new analysis from healthcare nonprofit KFF. The report estimates ACA enrollment could decline from 22.3 million participants in 2025 to roughly 17.5 million this year, representing a drop of more than 20 percent. At the same time, Americans who remain enrolled are paying substantially more out of pocket. According to the analysis, average deductibles have climbed by more than $1,000, while monthly premium payments have increased by an average of $65. “No matter how you slice it, people are paying more,” said Cynthia Cox, who co-authored the report. The sharp enrollment decline comes after the expiration of enhanced COVID-era subsidies that had artificially lowered costs for many Obamacare enrollees over the past several years. Without those subsidies, many middle-income Americans are now struggling to keep up with rising monthly payments. KFF found that middle-income Americans were among the most likely to drop their coverage . Many earn too much to qualify for the remaining low-income subsidies but not enough to comfortably absorb the higher costs now hitting the marketplace. The ACA marketplace, once promoted as a cornerstone of Democrat healthcare policy, has become increasingly important for gig workers, farmers, ranchers, hairstylists, and self-employed Americans who do not receive employer-sponsored coverage. According to the report, many consumers were automatically renewed into plans from the previous year, only to discover that costs had risen dramatically after the subsidies expired. In many cases, Americans initially kept their coverage before dropping it later in the year once the monthly bills became un...

A backlash against the government's floated proposal to cap food prices leads the Daily Telegraph, topping with Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey's warning it could be "unsustainable" and "risked backfiring". Addressing MPs at a select committee, Bailey says the measure would mean "effectively artificially moving prices relative to costs", creating what another official calls a "highly distorted" economy, the paper writes.

The chip combines up to 16 full-size "Zen 5" CPU cores with a large SoC die that has a powerful iGPU with 40 compute units powered by the RDNA 3.5 graphics architecture; a 50 TOPS-class NPU, and a 4-channel (256-bit wide) LPDDR5X unified memory interface. The series consists of three processor models, all three of these get AMD PRO features that rival Intel's vPro. There are consumer versions also planned for later this year.Memory is the focus of this refresh. AMD updated the memory controllers on the "Strix Halo" SoC die to now support up to 192 GB of LPDDR5X memory. The previous Ryzen AI Max 300 series tops out at 128 GB. Here, users have the flexibility to manually partition the memory between the system and the iGPU, giving the latter up to 160 GB of video memory. AMD also took the opportunity to give the GPU a maximum boost frequency increase to 3.00 GHz, up from 2.90 GHz on the Ryzen AI Max 300 series; while the "Zen 5" CPU cores now boost up to 5.20 GHz, up from 5.10 GHz on the previous generation.

Key Points In his view, it's only a hold now. The pundit also reduced his price target by nearly half. 10 stocks we like better than Phreesia › Healthcare tech stock Phreesia (NYSE: PHR) could have used a pick-me-up on Wednesday. In a trading session that ended in positive territory, with the bellwether S&P 500 index gaining more than 1%, Phreesia's equity lost 3.5% of its value. Much of this was directly due to an analyst's recommendation downgrade. Docked with a downgrade The responsible party was Stan Berenshteyn of "Big Four" U.S. bank Wells Fargo. Early that morning, he changed his rating on Phreesia to equal weight (hold, in other words) from his preceding overweight (buy). Accompanying that was a significant price target modification, with Berenshteyn lowering his to $9 per share from $15. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » According to reports, the analyst made his move following channel checks on the healthcare tech company's offerings. He wrote that these indicated mounting competition, leading him to reduce his estimates for all-important subscription revenue. Berenshteyn added that his research indicated patient intake software is more replaceable -- and thus subject to competing solutions -- than workflow software. This, in his view, makes Phreesia vulnerable. Is the stock now underrated? Another negative factor pointed out by the Wells Fargo prognosticator is the general profile of Phreesia's clients. He wrote that the company's strength is private practitioners, a segment being increasingly targeted by smaller developers, among other rivals. While Berenshteyn makes some solid points in his update, I personally wouldn't be ready to throw in the towel on Phreesia. Despite a recent cut to its annual revenue guidance that pushed the stock to historic lows, the company is be...
