Some Republicans long for the days before widespread health insurance, when you paid the doc out-of-pocket and didn’t overutilize services. Photo: Three Lions/Getty Images As Senate Republicans go through the valley of the shadow of death for their health-care plan, questions are again being raised about what they really want. Is it lower premiums for individual health insurance, particularly for the people (presumably many of them Republicans) who aren’t poor enough to qualify for Obamacare’s purchasing subsidies? Is it “entitlement reform,” focused on rolling back the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion and then capping that program’s growth forever as a government-shrinking exercise? Is all the talk about health policy really just a disguise, as many liberals suspect, for an agenda of high-end tax cuts and low-end spending cuts that have little or nothing to do with Obamacare? The answers to these questions may be as various as the … [Read more...] about Some Republicans Dislike Health Insurance So Much They Don’t Mind If You Lose It

NEW DELHI: India Ratings on Wednesday lowered the country's growth forecast to six-year low of 6.7 per cent for the current fiscal from an earlier estimate of 7.3 per cent on account of slowdown in consumption and moderation in industrial growth among other factors. This would be the third consecutive year of subdued growth, India Ratings principal economist Sunil Kumar Sinha said here. Even on quarterly basis, he said, April-June is expected to be the fifth consecutive quarter of declining GDP growth at 5.7 per cent. Citing factors for moderation in growth, he said, it is mainly due to five reasons including a slowdown in consumption demand and manufacturing and delayed, uneven progress of monsoon so far. Besides, he said inability of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code to resolve cases in a time-bound manner, and rising global trade tension adversely impacting exports are pulling down GDP numbers.

By Hannah Elliott The 2019 Porsche Cayenne S is a five-person SUV executed with the bland precision we’ve now come to expect from some of the more established German car brands. It has a 434-horsepower engine, a high-quality well-built and thoughtful interior, and a fresh new 12.3-inch touchscreen dashboard you can customize to your own preferences. Those features, combined with its agile handling and powerful thrust, propel it to the top of the line in its segment of midsize luxury SUVs. But if we’re being honest, after that, the car isn’t particularly stunning. Minus that ladder-like front grill, its wide body is rather nondescript. Though augmented by a new taillight that wraps around the rear of the vehicle, it isn’t as edgy as the Lamborghini Urus. The accoutrements that come standard inside—air conditioning, heat, radio—aren’t as plush as the Bentley Bentayga, which unfurls deep lambswool and burled walnut for its guests. Yes, both of … [Read more...] about With heated seats & auto-dimming mirrors, the 2019 Porsche Cayenne S is a luxuriously-convenient drive
