The new bill is the latest attempt to restrict the use of environmental, social and governance factors in retirement plans by specifying that fiduciaries may consider only "risk and return" factors when making investment decisions.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' final rule aims to stop brokers from steering beneficiaries to certain plans in exchange for higher reimbursement from insurers, while giving them more predictable compensation.
This new debt forgiveness - for those enrolled in the federal Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan - comes days after the president unveiled a sweeping student loan forgiveness proposal providing relief for 30 million Americans.
Novo Nordisk's list price for a monthly package of Ozempic is $935.77 before insurance and other rebates, yet it can be manufactured for between $0.89 to $4.73 a month, according to researchers at Yale University.
The Biden administration has announced that it has finalized a new regulation that curbs the use of short-term health insurance plans that do not comply with the Affordable Care Act, limiting the plans to 90 days.
Following the health care tech firm's data breach in February, 24 class-action lawsuits have been filed thus far, however, additional providers also are likely to file suits because of the financial impact on their businesses.
Uninsured individuals are more likely to skip or postpone medical care for more than a year because of cost (63%).
