Obamacare enrollment fell by nearly 3 million in 2026, dropping from a peak of 22.1 million last year to 19.2 million as of February, according to federal data released June 26. The decline has reignited the national fight over whether the program is truly making healthcare affordable — or simply hiding waste, fraud, and dependency behind taxpayer-funded subsidies. Democrats immediately blamed President Donald Trump and Republicans, claiming the decline proves that premiums are becoming unaffordable. KFF reported that average monthly premiums rose from $113 in 2025 to $178 in 2026, while benchmark silver premiums increased about 25 percent. But the Trump administration and conservative health policy experts argue the real story is…Open

AXIOS (Neil Irwin) - Top central bankers align on rewriting the policy playbook
It's not just an American thing. Central bankers from other top Western democracies also believe that they should communicate less about where policy is going.

State of play: Warsh has been a longtime critic of forward guidance , of central banks laying out explicitly what they anticipate doing in the future. He had like-minded company on stage at the ECB's annual conference in…
AXIOS (Barak Ravid) - U.S. tries to talk Iran out of tolls as talks resume in Doha
U.S. and Iranian negotiators are in Doha for talks focusing primarily on the Strait of Hormuz, with the Trump administration making the case that Iran stands to gain much more from a nuclear deal than it could generate from tolls in the strait . Why it matters: The parties gave themselves 60 days to reach a comprehensive nuclear deal, but two weeks into that window they're still arguing over the terms of the memorandum of understanding they already signed. Currently, the collapse of that initial deal looks more likely than agreement on a final one. - After several exchanges of fire, the U.S. and Iran did reach an understanding Sunday on de-escalating the situation in the strait for a week. That means new clashes could erupt right after…

President Donald Trump has issued a sweeping executive memorandum aimed at delivering what his administration calls the largest deregulatory action in American history, taking direct aim at costly environmental rules that have driven up vehicle prices and restricted Americans’ ability to repair their own cars, trucks, and equipment. The order directs the Environmental Protection Agency to expand “freedom to fix” protections by clarifying, within 30 days, what vehicle owners may lawfully do when repairing emissions systems on their own vehicles. It also tells the EPA to consider deprioritizing civil enforcement against Americans who make good-faith efforts to restore vehicles to their original configuration. At the center of the…Open
