Wisconsin Issues Dire Warning About Trump’s Effect on Obamacare Costs
Health care access could soon become a pipe dream for some Wisconsinites if Congress doesn’t muster up a budget.
The government shut down 27 days ago, in large part over a debate on the merits of the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits, which assist individuals making upward of 400 percent of the federal poverty level. Still, neither national political party appears willing to shatter Congress’s stalemate on how to fund Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” budget, which included details to slice billions from Obamacare subsidies and Medicaid.Open enrollment for the subsidized coverage is just days away, but failing to extend the premium tax credits could raise premiums by thousands of dollars a year for people within the affected income bracket all over the country.

IBLA 2025: India’s next decade of growth will be defined by technology, scale and talent, say business leaders
From technology and finance to law and healthcare, every leader on the IBLA 2025 Jury Round panel echoed a shared conviction — that India’s next decade of growth will be powered by the fusion of technology, scale, and human capital.
Arundhati Bhattacharya, President & CEO of Salesforce South Asia and Preetha Reddy, Executive Vice Chairperson of Apollo Hospitals underscored how AI can transform inclusion and access in India. Bhattacharya urged industries to “get excited, not fearful” about artificial intelligence, arguing that India must build frugal innovation models suited to its unique conditions rather than replicate resource-intensive Western approaches.
