Health plans welcome reforms to strengthen Medicare Advantage.

However, a proposal for flat program funding at a time of sharply rising medical costs

and high utilization of care will directly impact seniors' coverage.

If finalized, this proposal could result in benefit reductions and higher costs for 35 million

Today on the Playbook podcast, the heads of ICE and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection

face a house grilling on

immigration. There's four days to go and still no sign of a deal in Congress on funding the
