The Senate failed to get anywhere on health care this week. Now it’s the House’s turn. Speaker Mike Johnson late Friday released a package of proposal to address growing health care costs. The House legislation does not include an extension of enhanced tax credits that make health insurance more affordable in the Affordable Care Act marketplace. Those tax breaks are expiring at the end of this year. Johnson said Republicans' goal is to reduce premiums for all Americans, not just those enrolled in Obamacare plans. But going Johnson’s route has left vulnerable House Republicans representing key battleground districts in a tough spot.

Actor Hailee Steinfeld and her NFL husband Josh Allen are expecting their first baby together. Steinfeld announced her pregnancy Friday in her Substack newsletter as part of a list of her favorite moments of the year.

The couple shared a video of Allen kneeling to kiss Steinfeld's baby bump. She is seen wearing a sweater that reads “mother.” The couple tied the knot earlier this year at a private ceremony in California after dating since 2023.

Florida officials are plowing ahead with a proposal to roll back certain vaccine mandates for the state’s schoolchildren. That is after Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis called for the state to become the first in the nation to eliminate all school vaccination requirements. The Florida Department of Health held a public hearing on the policy change in Panama City Beach on Friday. Activists and parents opposed to the mandates heralded the importance of individual freedom. Doctors recalled the children who died of infectious diseases before the advent of vaccines. For generations, the shots have been a cornerstone of public health policy.
