20 Million + Americans brace to start New Year without healthcare
Adrienne Martin and her family are starting the New Year off without healthcare.
The 47-year-old Texas mother had to make a difficult choice when she found out her monthly healthcare premium was increasing in 2026 from what she described as a manageable $630 (ยฃ467) to an unaffordable $2,400 (ยฃ1,781).
Her husband depends on an IV medication to treat a blood-clotting disease that costs $70,000 a month without insurance. Knowing their benefits would expire, the family stockpiled the drug to survive the first few months of the year.
"It would be like paying two mortgage payments," she said of the new monthly price for healthcare. "We can't pay $30,000 for insurance a year."

Right here we go at last. A task for 2026.
I originally planned to begin reading 'Ulysses' on the day I moved out of Dublin after living there for years, but when the cay finally came, moving happened so suddenly and hurtfully that I put this plan aside.
I was gifted a copy at Christmas and have decided now is the time, as for some strange reason I am also re-attached to the city this year through four different upcoming projects there.
