Legislative leaders differ on causes of and solutions to Washington budget holeBy Noam N. Levey, KFF Health News Worried that President-elect Donald Trump will curtail federal efforts to take on the nation’s medical debt problem, patient and consumer advocates are looking to states to help people who can’t afford their medical bills or pay down their debts. “The election simply shifts our focus,” said Eva Stahl, who oversees public policy at Undue Medical Debt, a nonprofit that has worked closely with the Biden administration and state leaders on medical debt. “States are going to be the epicenter of policy change to mitigate the harms of medical debt.” New state initiatives may not be enough to protect Americans from medical debt if the incoming Trump administration and congressional Republicans move forward with plans to scale back federal aid that has helped millions gain health insurance or reduce the cost of their plans in recent years. Comprehensive health coverage that limits patients’ out-of-pocket costs remains the best defense against medical debt. But in the face of federal retrenchment, advocates are eyeing new initiatives in state legislatures to keep medical bills off people’s credit reports, a consumer protection that can boost credit scores and make it easier to buy a car, rent an apartment, or even get a job. Several states are looking to strengthen oversight of medical credit cards and other financial products that can leave patients paying high interest rates on top of their medical debt. Some states are also exploring new ways to compel hospitals to bolster financial aid programs to help their patients avoid sinking into debt. “There’s an enormous amount that states can do,” said Elisabeth Benjamin, who leads health care initiatives at the nonprofit Community Service Society of New York. “Look at what’s happened here.” New York state has enacted several laws in recent years to rein in hospital debt collections and to expand financial aid for patients, often with support from both Democrats and Republicans in the legislature. “It doesn’t matter the party. No one likes medical debt,” Benjamin said. Other states that have enacted protections in recent years include Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Washington. Many measures picked up bipartisan support. President Joe Biden’s administration has proved to be an ally in state efforts to control health care debt. Such debt burdens 100 million people in the United States, a KFF Health News investigation found . Led by Biden appointee Rohit Chopra, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has made medical debt a priority , going after aggressive collectors and exposing problematic practices across the medical debt industry. Earlier this year, the agency proposed landmark regulations to remove medical bills from consumer credit scores. The White House also championed legislation to boost access to government-subsidized health insurance and to cap out-of-pocket drug costs for seniors, both key bulwarks against medical debt. Trump hasn’t indicated whether his administration will move ahead with the CFPB credit reporting rule, which was slated to be finalized early next year. Congressional Republicans, who will control the House and Senate next year, have blasted the proposal as regulatory overreach that will compromise the value of credit reports. And Elon Musk, the billionaire whom Trump has tapped to lead his initiative to shrink government, last week called for the elimination of the watchdog agency . “Delete CFPB,” Musk posted on X. If the CFPB withdraws the proposed regulation, states could enact their own rules, following the lead of Colorado, New York, and other states that have passed credit reporting bans since 2023. Advocates in Massachusetts are pushing the legislature there to take up a ban when it reconvenes in January. “There are a lot of different levers that states have to take on medical debt,” said April Kuehnhoff, a senior attorney at the National Consumer Law Center, which has helped lead national efforts to expand debt protections for patients. Kuehnhoff said she expects more states to crack down on medical credit card providers and other companies that lend money to patients to pay off medical bills, sometimes at double-digit interest rates. Under the Biden administration, the CFPB has been investigating patient financing companies amid warnings that many people may not understand that signing up for a medical credit card such as CareCredit or enrolling in a payment plan through a financial services company can pile on more debt. If the CFPB efforts stall under Trump, states could follow the lead of California, New York, and Illinois, which have all tightened rules governing patient lending in recent years. Consumer advocates say states are also likely to continue expanding efforts to get hospitals to provide more financial assistance to reduce or eliminate bills for low- and middle-income patients, a key protection that can keep people from slipping into debt. Hospitals historically have not made this aid readily available, prompting states such as California, Colorado, and Washington to set stronger standards to ensure more patients get help with bills they can’t afford. This year, North Carolina also won approval from the Biden administration to withhold federal funding from hospitals in the state unless they agreed to expand financial assistance. In Georgia, where state government is entirely in Republican control, officials have been discussing new measures to get hospitals to provide more assistance to patients. “When we talk about hospitals putting profits over patients, we get lots of nodding in the legislature from Democrats and Republicans,” said Liz Coyle, executive director of Georgia Watch, a consumer advocacy nonprofit. Many advocates caution, however, that state efforts to bolster patient protections will be critically undermined if the Trump administration cuts federal funding for health insurance programs such as Medicaid and the insurance marketplaces established through the Affordable Care Act. Trump and congressional Republicans have signaled their intent to roll back federal subsidies passed under Biden that make health plans purchased on ACA marketplaces more affordable. That could hike annual premiums by hundreds or even thousands of dollars for many enrollees, according to estimates by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a think tank. And during Trump’s first term, he backed efforts in Republican-led states to restrict enrollment in their Medicaid safety net programs through rules that would require people to work in order to receive benefits. GOP state leaders in Idaho, Louisiana, and other states have expressed a desire to renew such efforts. “That’s all a recipe for more medical debt,” said Stahl, of Undue Medical Debt. Jessica Altman, who heads the Covered California insurance marketplace, warned that federal cuts will imperil initiatives in her state that have limited copays and deductibles and curtailed debt for many state residents. “States like California that have invested in critical affordable programs for our residents will face tough decisions,” she said. ©2024 KFF Health News.

Imagine sipping hot chocolate in the background of the Northern Lights, exploring sun-drenched islands or maybe enjoying a festive dinner on the sea.Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner and Fox Business host Larry Kudlow said that First Lady Dr. Jill Biden was engaged in “heavy flirtation” with Donald Trump this past weekend because “she gravitates towards power.” Kudlow, a former economic adviser to Trump, also asserted that both the first lady and her husband, President Joe Biden, secretly voted for the incoming president rather than Vice President Kamala Harris. During his Saturday trip to Paris to witness the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral, Trump was seen engaging in friendly banter with Jill Biden, prompting MAGA to go wild over the encounter. Trump later leaned into the online speculation by trolling the first lady with an online advertisement for his own personal perfume and cologne line. The soon-to-be commander-in-chief included a photo of him and Dr. Biden alongside a Truth Social post pitching his new “Fight, Fight, Fight” scent, stating that it’s a “fragrance your enemies can’t resist!” The “Trump for Men” cologne and “Trump for Women” perfume both sell for $199, though Trump is currently offering a buy one, get the other one half-off sale. With Trump supporters declaring that the first lady looked like “she’s in love with BOSS Trump” and that it is “settled science” that she voted for him, the hosts of Fox News panel show Outnumbered read as much as they possibly could into the Biden-Trump interaction. Co-host Kayleigh McEnany , who served as Trump’s press secretary in his first administration, noted that Mrs. Biden wore a red suit on both Election Day and when Trump visited the White House last month, prompting Kudlow to claim this was proof that “she voted for Trump.” He went on to insist that once the president dropped out of the race and Harris became the Democratic candidate, the first lady decided privately to support Trump despite her previous criticism of him. At the same time, he claimed that the Notre Dame encounter showed she was smitten with the president-elect. “Take a careful look at that. That wasn’t a nice conversation, that was outright flirtation,” he proclaimed while Faulkner exclaimed “oh my goodness” and the other hosts giggled. “That was almost heavy-duty petting at the G7 level,” Kudlow added as host Emily Compango shouted, “Oh my God.” Not quite done, Kudlow stated that the “evidence was mounting” that both Bidens voted for their political rival. McEnany reacted by saying Kudlow had the “hot take of the day,” prompting Compagno to insist that he “should have been a prosecutor” because he “nailed it.” She then said that “of course” the first lady was going to smile at Trump because “he is a wonderful and normal human.” Meanwhile, Faulkner doubled down on Kudlow’s remarks by insinuating that Mrs. Biden was indeed flirting with the incoming president because she is power hungry, seemingly referencing the “Lady Macbeth” narrative about the first lady that had arisen among conservatives in recent months. “What you were pointing out, outside of some of the extracurricular activities that you described, I do believe that at this moment that you do want to gravitate — clearly she gravitates towards power,” Faulkner declared as Compagno punctuated the point by loudly oohing and ahhing at the suggestion. “You’re not in the White House with a husband who really could have sat down long before that debate on June 27,” Faulkner continued while Compagno kept moaning. “Yeah, I’m just gonna say it because it’s the truth.” Faulkner reiterated that Dr. Biden is “gravitating towards power,” noting that the “shiniest object in the room at that moment” was Trump. “So she goes over and kind of soaks that lighting up,” she added. While the entire panel broke down in laughter, Kudlow insisted that this “fondness for power” on Dr. Biden’s behalf was what he was “metaphorically” describing when he brought up the “heavy-duty petting” between the two. “Oh, it was a metaphor! Well, now we know,” she exclaimed. “But honestly, the shame in all of this is it couldn’t have been like this down the stretch. And that’s what they are so burned about, the Bidens. It was Kamala Harris.”

Qld to push for digital ID uptake after survey resultsNeal Maupay: Whenever I’m having a bad day I check Everton score and smileORCHARD PARK, N.Y — Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was aiming to enter one of the NFL’s most exclusive clubs on Sunday afternoon, when the Jets faced the Bills. But after the Jets fell behind by 40 points, Rodgers watched most of the fourth quarter from the sideline, still sitting on 499 career touchdowns and as the new owner of one of the NFL’s much-less-sought-after marks: his 568 career sacks are now the most in NFL history, putting him past Tom Brady who finished his 23-year career with 564. “I got Tom on that one,” Rodgers said with a smile after the Jets' 40-14 loss to Buffalo dropped them to 4-12 on the season. BUY JETS TICKETS: STUBHUB , VIVID SEATS , TICKETSMARTER , TICKETMASTER Brady sits atop the NFL’s all-time list with 649 passing touchdowns and 89,214 yards. Rodgers (who is eighth all-time in passing yards with 62,566) was seeking to become just the fifth player in NFL history to reach 500 career touchdowns, joining Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, and Brett Favre. But it wasn’t to be with Rodgers throwing two interceptions and getting pulled for Tyrod Taylor with the game out of hand in the fourth quarter. Still three quarters was more than enough time for Rodgers to reach the NFL’s all time sacks mark: he tied Brady in the second quarter when he was sacked by Bills defensive end A.J. Epenesa for a safety. And with 8:14 remaining in the third quarter, a combined sack by defensive end Greg Rousseau and defensive tackle DaQuan Jones put Rodgers in the history books. He was sacked four times in Sunday’s loss to the Bills, his most since taking five sacks in the Week 4 loss to the Broncos. Rodgers said he knew he was on the verge of the sack record after learning he was just one of Brady’s mark in Saturday’s production meeting with CBS. He probably didn’t expect to set that mark, and then watch the fourth quarter from the bench as backup Tyrod Taylor led two touchdown drives in mop-up duty. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said he took Rodgers out of the game in part to protect him with the Jets down 40-0. And Rodgers didn’t seem to have an issue with with the substitution. In fact, he says he went to Ulbrich and suggested it. “It was 33-0, we were sitting there and I said ‘At some point you might want to go to Tyrod here, huh?’” Rodgers said. “And then the next play [Bills backup Mitchell Trubisky] threw a screen for a touchdown, and we were down 40-0.” Ulbrich indicated that Rodgers will be the starting quarterback next weekend when the Jets host the Dolphins in the season finale. It certainly didn’t help Rodgers on Sunday that the Jets played much of the game with a decimated offensive line; left tackle Olu Fashanu is out for the season with a plantar fascia injury and was replaced by backup swing tackle Max Mitchell, and right tackle Morgan Moses had to leave the game after aggravating a knee injury he has been since the Week 3 win over the Patriots. Rodgers had chances on each of the Jets' first two drives to join the 500-touchdown club. But the first drive ended when running back Braelon Allen was stuffed on fourth-and-1 from Bills 24-yard-line, forcing the Jets to turn it over on downs. And on the Jets' next possession, Rodgers threw an interception on second-and-8 from the Buffalo 12, when his pass, intended for Davante Adams, was tipped at the line of scrimmage and intercepted by defensive tackle Jordan Phillips. “It could have been an explosive play,” Rodgers said. “The guy just tipped the ball.” It was the last time Rodgers led a drive inside the Buffalo 41. “I mean, that’s kind of the season,” Rodgers said. “It just got away from us. Too many games got away from us. This game got away from us. We were moving the ball well and just hit the wall. That’s kind of been the season.” MORE JETS COVERAGE Jets' Aaron Rodgers replaced by Tyrod Taylor late in humiliating loss to Bills New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills LIVE STREAM (12/29/24): Watch NFL Week 17 online | Time, TV, Channel What channel is the New York Jets game today (12/29/24)?

Point Bridge America First ETF (BATS:MAGA) Trading 0.2% Higher – Here’s What Happened
BETHESDA, Md. — Enviva, LLC (“Enviva” or the “Company”), a leading producer of industrial wood pellets, today announced its successful emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, marking a significant milestone in the Company’s strategic transformation. Enviva is well-positioned for long-term growth and consistent operating performance, allowing the Company to serve its customers as a market leader and critical partner in meeting their demand for renewable fuel. Enviva’s Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, with overwhelming support from the Company’s key stakeholders and business partners. As part of its financial restructuring, Enviva has equitized more than $1 billion of indebtedness and American Industrial Partners Capital Fund VIII (“AIP”) has become the largest shareholder of the Company. To support ongoing operations and future growth initiatives, Enviva is capitalized at emergence with an attractive exit loan facility, as well as access to further capital through a delayed draw term loan. As part of the Plan, stakeholders provided $250 million of new money financing through an Equity Rights Offering to help fund the recapitalization of the Company. As a result of this, the Company’s liquidity and financial profile is very strong and the Company has no near-term debt maturities. The secured funding also fully finances completion of the Company’s 11 production plant, under construction in Epes, Alabama, which is anticipated to produce its first pellets in May 2025. Once fully ramped, the Company expects the new plant to produce ~1 million metric tons of wood pellets per year, providing a significant opportunity to sell into new and existing markets. Also on emergence, Glenn Nunziata, who most recently served as Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, and James Geraghty, who formerly served as Executive Vice President of Finance, has been named Chief Financial Officer. “Emergence is a critical milestone and exciting step forward in positioning Enviva for a successful future,” said Glenn Nunziata, Enviva’s Chief Executive Officer. “On behalf of Enviva, I want to express our gratitude to all our stakeholders, especially our customers and associates, for their continued business and support. With a substantially reduced debt burden and dramatically improved liquidity profile, we are well-positioned to serve our customers reliably as a leading producer of industrial wood pellets and to rebuild trust and confidence in the communities in which we operate and markets in which we sell our product.” In connection with emergence, Enviva will operate as a private company with a new Board of Managers (“Board”) comprising representatives from key shareholders, including AIP, Keyframe Capital Partners, L.P., and Ares Management funds, who bring valuable financial, operational, and end-market experience to support Enviva’s operations and future growth. Jan Trnka-Amrhein, member of Enviva’s Board and Partner at AIP, added, “Enviva’s best-in-class portfolio of production assets and robust logistics capabilities allows for the Company to be the go-to partner for woody biomass renewable energy solutions. We see an immense opportunity for growth and expansion in the markets in which Enviva operates, and we’re confident that Enviva is well equipped to reliably meet its customers’ growing demand for biomass products.” Enviva extends its gratitude to its employees, customers, suppliers, and other partners for their support throughout the restructuring process. Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, Vinson & Elkins LLP, and Kutak Rock LLP served as legal counsel, Lazard served as investment banker, and Alvarez & Marsal North America, LLC served as restructuring advisor to Enviva. The Ad Hoc Group of Creditors was represented by Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP and McGuireWoods LLP as legal counsel and Evercore Group LLC as investment banker. Enviva, LLC is a leading producer of industrial wood pellets, a renewable energy source produced by aggregating a natural resource, wood fiber, and processing it into a transportable form, wood pellets. Enviva owns and operates ten plants in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, and is constructing its 11th plant in Epes, Alabama. Enviva sells most of its wood pellets through long-term, take-or-pay off-take contracts with customers located primarily in the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Japan, helping to accelerate the energy transition away from conventional energy sources in hard-to-abate sectors like steel, cement, lime, chemicals, and aviation. Enviva exports its wood pellets to global markets through its deep-water marine terminals at the Port of Chesapeake, Virginia, the Port of Wilmington, North Carolina, and the Port of Pascagoula, Mississippi, and from third-party deep-water marine terminals in Savannah, Georgia, Mobile, Alabama, and Panama City, Florida.

Ruling on Monday after an emergency hearing at Belfast High Court, judge Mr Justice McAlinden rejected loyalist activist Jamie Bryson’s application for leave for a full judicial review hearing against Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn. The judge said Mr Bryson, who represented himself as a personal litigant, had “very ably argued” his case with “perseverance and cogency”, and had raised some issues of law that caused him “some concern”. However, he found against him on the three grounds of challenge against Mr Benn. Mr Bryson had initially asked the court to grant interim relief in his challenge to prevent Tuesday’s democratic consent motion being heard in the Assembly, pending the hearing of a full judicial review. However, he abandoned that element of his leave application during proceedings on Monday, after the judge made clear he would be “very reluctant” to do anything that would be “trespassing into the realms” of a democratically elected Assembly. Mr Bryson had challenged Mr Benn’s move to initiate the democratic consent process that is required under the UK and EU’s Windsor Framework deal to extend the trading arrangements that apply to Northern Ireland. The previously stated voting intentions of the main parties suggest that Stormont MLAs will vote to continue the measures for another four years when they convene to debate the motion on Tuesday. After the ruling, Mr Bryson told the court he intended to appeal to the Court of Appeal. Any hearing was not expected to come later on Monday. In applying for leave, the activist’s argument was founded on three key grounds. The first was the assertion that Mr Benn failed to make sufficient efforts to ensure Stormont’s leaders undertook a public consultation exercise in Northern Ireland before the consent vote. The second was that the Secretary of State allegedly failed to demonstrate he had paid special regard to protecting Northern Ireland’s place in the UK customs territory in triggering the vote. The third ground centred on law changes introduced by the previous UK government earlier this year, as part of its Safeguarding the Union deal to restore powersharing at Stormont. He claimed that if the amendments achieved their purpose, namely, to safeguard Northern Ireland’s place within the United Kingdom, then it would be unlawful to renew and extend post-Brexit trading arrangements that have created economic barriers between the region and the rest of the UK. In 2023, the UK Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the trading arrangements for Northern Ireland are lawful. The appellants in the case argued that legislation passed at Westminster to give effect to the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement conflicted with the 1800 Acts of Union that formed the United Kingdom, particularly article six of that statute guaranteeing unfettered trade within the UK. The Supreme Court found that while article six of the Acts of Union has been “modified” by the arrangements, that was done with the express will of a sovereign parliament, and so therefore was lawful. Mr Bryson contended that amendments made to the Withdrawal Agreement earlier this year, as part of the Safeguarding the Union measures proposed by the Government to convince the DUP to return to powersharing, purport to reassert and reinforce Northern Ireland’s constitutional status in light of the Supreme Court judgment. He told the court that it was “quite clear” there was “inconsistency” between the different legal provisions. “That inconsistency has to be resolved – there is an arguable case,” he told the judge. However, Dr Tony McGleenan KC, representing the Government, described Mr Bryson’s argument as “hopeless” and “not even arguable”. He said all three limbs of the case had “no prospect of success and serve no utility”. He added: “This is a political argument masquerading as a point of constitutional law and the court should see that for what it is.” After rising to consider the arguments, Justice McAlinden delivered his ruling shortly after 7pm. The judge dismissed the application on the first ground around the lack consultation, noting that such an exercise was not a “mandatory” obligation on Mr Benn. On the second ground, he said there were “very clear” indications that the Secretary of State had paid special regard to the customs territory issues. On the final ground, Justice McAlinden found there was no inconsistency with the recent legislative amendments and the position stated in the Supreme Court judgment. “I don’t think any such inconsistency exists,” he said. He said the amendments were simply a “restatement” of the position as set out by the Supreme Court judgment, and only served to confirm that replacing the Northern Ireland Protocol with the Windsor Framework had not changed the constitutional fact that Article Six of the Acts of Union had been lawfully “modified” by post-Brexit trading arrangements. “It does no more than that,” he said. The framework, and its predecessor the NI Protocol, require checks and customs paperwork on goods moving from Great Britain into Northern Ireland. Under the arrangements, which were designed to ensure no hardening of the Irish land border post-Brexit, Northern Ireland continues to follow many EU trade and customs rules. This has proved highly controversial, with unionists arguing the system threatens Northern Ireland’s place in the United Kingdom. Advocates of the arrangements say they help insulate the region from negative economic consequences of Brexit. A dispute over the so-called Irish Sea border led to the collapse of the Northern Ireland Assembly in 2022, when the DUP withdrew then-first minister Paul Givan from the coalition executive. The impasse lasted two years and ended in January when the Government published its Safeguarding the Union measures. Under the terms of the framework, a Stormont vote must be held on articles five to 10 of the Windsor Framework, which underpin the EU trade laws in force in Northern Ireland, before they expire. The vote must take place before December 17. Based on the numbers in the Assembly, MLAs are expected to back the continuation of the measures for another four years, even though unionists are likely to oppose the move. DUP leader Gavin Robinson has already made clear his party will be voting against continuing the operation of the Windsor Framework. Unlike other votes on contentious issues at Stormont, the motion does not require cross-community support to pass. If it is voted through with a simple majority, the arrangements are extended for four years. In that event, the Government is obliged to hold an independent review of how the framework is working. If it wins cross-community support, which is a majority of unionists and a majority of nationalists, then it is extended for eight years. The chances of it securing such cross-community backing are highly unlikely.
