Trump adds more confusion to Obamacare
If you're been buying insurance through the Affordable Care Act exchanges, here's more news you need to know. In a surprise weekend announcement, the Trump administration temporarily suspended $10 billion worth of 2017 "risk adjustment payments." Under the risk adjustment program, the federal government each year collects money from insurers with healthier customers and puts it into a pool that's used to fund insurers with sicker, higher-cost patients. To fully understand the administration's latest move, a little history is in order. When the ACA was passed in 2010, one of the most important tenets of the law was the rule stating that insurers must accept all patients regardless of their health history.

10 essentials to know since your mom had a baby
Lauren Chval Chicago Tribune Published 11:01 p.m. UTC Jun 19, 2018 Being a new parent, people will tell you, is overwhelming. A new baby does not come with instructions. While frantic Googling is always an option, many turn to an even more comprehensive source of knowledge: their own mothers. In those first days, weeks and months, new grandmothers (and grandfathers) can serve as resources in what feels like a prolonged guessing game of “What’s upsetting my baby?” But while they’re often expert diaper changers and baby whisperers, the trouble with relying solely on mom’s knowledge is that a lot may have changed since she had babies of her own. “The reason we have all the recommendations for babies is we can study them,” said Dr. Renee F.
