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 (£467) to an unaffordable $2,400 (£1,781).
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."

Feds withdraw funding notice just before hearing

"Huang said the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development had withdrawn the notice of funding opportunity, or NOFO, for the Continuum of Care program less than 90 minutes before a court hearing on both suits before District Court judge Mary S. McElroy in Rhode Island Monday. Cambridge city solicitor Megan Bayer told councillors that the judge “was very displeased with this last-minute change from the federal government, and specifically commented on how she worked all weekend to prepare for this hearing, and knows that plaintiff’s attorneys worked many hours, and she does not appreciate these shenanigans from the federal government.”

Protest legend Rob Potylo, once a Cambridge comedy staple, was detained by Ice In Oregon

“He was singing with the Portland Frog when Ice started shooting pepper balls at him, then detained Robby,” according to a crowdfunding page set up for his legal defense.

“Robby is being brought up on trespassing charges and asked to appear in court in Portland even though Ice dragged him onto their property,” according to the crowdfunding page. A Roadsteamer YouTube video with 91,000 views confirms that three men clad in military gear come out of the facility and drag Potylo in, over a painted blue banner on the ground identifying where the Ice property begins.
