Actuarially News Today

At court. we are looking for more information at this. we dont have a whole lot, it just crossed a few moments ago. we brought you into talk about a lot of other matters, but we will shift this for the moment. he argued in front of ruth bader ginsburg just really are what happened? >> she is mentally as sharp and quick as ever. i was sorry to hear the news this morning. we know that she has been battling health issues. she seems to have surmounted a lot of them, but actuarially, a lot of the jus...

To have health care for all, what can be done to make it more competitive so that insurance companies dont drop out? >> well, the first thing we have to do is the only way you can do it is force everybody to be in the individual market. you have to get healthy people in with sick people, younger people in with older people, to make it commercially viable. thats a real problem. again, unless you have mandatory insurance, which we tried. that didnt work very well. we could make it even more puniti...

Reinsurance system, and that is something that might work. i think ultimately, if you could find any way to get individuals into a large group where it makes sense for an insurance company to take them on, thats a possible solution. ultimately, i think the only way to do it is to allow any individual to buy into medicare on an actuarially established basis. >> if this goes down in the house or in the senate, do you think republicans take other pass at it? do they come up with a new plan? or do y...

20 in minneapolis. 20 in sioux falls which doesnt sound too bad, but when you factor in a steady wind over 20 miles per hour, it feels like its minus 7 in bismarck, feels like its only 2 degrees in minneapolis and sioux falls. and when those winds gust up to around 40 miles per hour, it feels like its in the minus teens in this area. in the meantime, across the rest of the nation, we have a front thats bringing rain from michigan all the way down into eastern texas. and its very warm right ahead...

These judges? >> thats absolutely true. i mean, because of harry reid, rather than a 60-vote majority, which would encourage a president to find consensus-building candidates, nominees, that could get both republicans and democrats behind them, that nuclear option just means 51% will confirm a judge except for on the u.s. supreme court. so that gives donald trump a big leeway with 52 republicans in -- in the senate right now, and what could happen is if the democrats try to filibuster one of his...

Premium is less, they are seeing their premiums skyrocket. another thing we have found out from our insurance brokers who were here in the area, many times if you have mom, dad, a 19 year old, 17 and a 15 year old, what will happen is the 15 and 17 year old in that family are being pushed into the medicaid program and then you are seeing mom, dad, and the 19 year old put into an obamacare health exchange product. so we are going to investigate these numbers and see what the numbers tell us. were...

Or do you look at a 10-year, 15-year horizon and say, okay. if we can stabilize or perhaps, dare i say, even reduce the debt as a percentage of gdp over that period of time, then lets take another look at it in five more years or seven more years and see where we are and see what the pattern is, you know, how fast are medical costs rising? have they stabilized at all? has the rate of increase come down? you know, because i think were not going to get very far if we try to come up with a solution...

Over the last year or so. so miller is working on that for the next few weeks before he joins the trump white house, but that is a sign that mr. trump is still sticking in just about every noticeable way public-facing way, with many of the people that have been with him for the last several months or years. gregg? >> peter doocy live in palm beach, thanks very much. lets talk about trumps first 100 days with our political panel. democratic strategist robin byro who used to work for the obama c...
