Health insurance premiums have more than doubled since the major provisions of the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, began in 2014, rising twice as fast as inflation. How did that happen? Consumers have said that insurance companies are responsible. Insurers shift the blame to hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. Pharmaceutical companies say pharmacy benefit managers are at fault. Political parties blame each other. Some independent observers agree that the rise in premiums, especially recently, is largely driven by external forces, including the increased use of expensive medications, rising labor costs, and inflation, which reached a 40-year high in 2022. Others see a more basic cause, one with roots in the Affordable Care Act. Some of the same policies that make Obamacare popular with consumers are actually cracks in its foundation, these observers say. Here are the key provisions of Obamacare, which some experts say undermined its success. (More) |

A group representing plastic surgeons now says it opposes carrying out breast removal and other gender transition surgeries on minors. In a reversal from its 2019 position, The American Society of Plastic Surgeons told members in a 9-page statement that there is insufficient evidence supporting a favorable risk-benefit calculus for performing the surgeries on children. The society in 2019 said that states should not restrict the surgeries for children experiencing gender dysphoria. In 2024, the organization said there was "considerable uncertainty as to the long-term efficacy for the use of chest and genital surgical interventions for the treatment of adolescents with gender dysphoria" and that it was reviewing the available evidence. The new position stems in part from recent reports and papers summarizing the available evidence, including a 2025 report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that found little evidence supporting the so-called "gender-affirming" surgeries. Officials at the time said therapy was the preferred approach for the children in question. (More) |

| | The shooting to death of Alex Pretti in Minnesota resulted in a surprising inversion of opinion. Those who would normally defend the right of people to go armed took the fact that Mr Pretti was carrying a powerful weapon to a demonstration as evidence that he intended no good, while those who would normally favor gun control said that he was merely exercising his legal rights. After all, he had a gun licence and was perfectly entitled to carry his gun. (Read more) |
