Most Americans can expect to pay significantly more each month for health insurance next year, whether they get it through work, the Affordable Care Act or Medicare. In some cases, the premium increases may be the largest in decades and are driven by numerous economic pressures. But they won’t look the same for everyone. Some will pay more in the form of higher copays or deductibles.
DALLAS – Republicans breathed a sigh of relief that the GOP midterm convention didn’t go poorly. But many aren’t convinced it will help in November.
Elon Musk says that Bernie Sanders misunderstands his wealth because 99% of it is tied up in stock. He says he doesn't have a trillion-dollar pile of cash sitting in a vault. He is right about that. He is wrong about what it means. Because nobody is proposing to tax a pile of cash. We are talking about wealth — ownership. Musk's Tesla and SpaceX shares are not Monopoly money. They represent real ownership of real companies, real assets, and enormous economic power. If their value rises, Musk becomes richer. If he needs money, those assets can be sold or used as collateral. The fact that his fortune is measured in shares rather than dollar bills does not make him less wealthy. It tells us what billionaire wealth actually is.

For a time, the empire lost its juice.
Family members and mourners gathered at the site of the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history on Friday to commemorate those killed on Sept. 11, 2001, in lower Manhattan and mark the 25th anniversary of the tragedy.

BRUSSELS — Greece will not receive Israel's source code for the command-and-control system underpinning its new €3 billion Achilles Shield air defense network, according to the head of Israel's Missile Defense Organization.
Trump was asking the question again. Not about Iran's nuclear program. Not about the Strait of Hormuz. Not even about how many missiles Iran had left. “How does this look in November?” Nobody in the room needed clarification. The maps on the table showed Iran, the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Red Sea. The TV set was muted. Somewhere on another screen, oil was going up again.
