The likely result: A million people would lose employer-paid health care and have to look for subsidized coverage on government insurance exchanges or go on Medicaid, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Thats just the opening round.
A surprisingly powerful surge in hiring pushed unemployment to a six-year low of 5.9 percent in September as the U.S. labor market showed renewed vigor.
Calling growing inequality a betrayal of U.S. values and morally wrong, Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz said concentrated wealth could harm public health, slow economic growth and undermine democracy.
The number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits rose more than forecast last week after reaching a six-month low, a sign that progress in the labor market remains fitful.
