Millions Drop Obamacare Because of Higher Costs

Nearly four million people who signed up for Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare) plans this year have already dropped their coverage after the loss of subsidies resulted in sharply higher costs, for some the premiums were more expensive than their mortgages.

Number of Americans Taking Weight Loss Drugs Explodes to Record High

UCG / UCG/Universal Images Group via GWeight-loss drugs are becoming increasingly common across the United States, with a new Gallup poll showing a record share of adults have now used them. The survey found that 15 percent of Americans have taken a weight-loss medication at some point, while 11 percent say they are currently using one—a significant jump from the 3 percent reported in 2024. The national poll, conducted among more than 5,000 adults from late May to early June, comes as access to obesity medications expands. Lower costs, new treatments entering the market, including oral versions, and broader approvals for health conditions beyond weight loss have helped drive adoption. “This validates what I think we’re all seeing in practice, that it’s really dramatically changing how care is happening,” said Dr. Scott Hagan, an obesity specialist at the University of Washington. The rise in medication use comes alongside a decline in obesity rates, which have fallen to 36.4 percent this year after reaching 39.9 percent in 2022.Read it at The New York TimesRead more at The Daily Beast.

Conservatives rage over re-funding of Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood's beleaguered network of clinics will regain access to hundreds of millions in Medicaid funding this weekend — the fallout of Republicans' failure to pass an extension of the one-year defunding provision they approved last year. Starting July 5, clinics around the country can once again bill the federal program for reimbursement after providing non-abortion services, like birth control and screenings for sexually-transmitted infections, to low-income patients. Though other funding threats loom, it's a lifeline for the struggling organization, which has closed nearly 30 health centers nationwide that collectively served more than 40,000 patients since the defunding provision in the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill Act took effect in July 2025.
