Nearly half of Americans have resolved to save more money in 2026. Unfortunately, many of those New Year’s resolutions are dead on arrival due to skyrocketing health insurance premiums that, starting this month, will eat up a larger share of families’ budgets.

In a victory for the Trump administration, Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read announced last week that the state will resume “routine cleanup” of outdated voter registration records, a process dormant since 2017.
