Last-Minute Tech Gifts & Health Care’s Crisis of Conscience 12/23/24

Private health insurance companies are in the spotlight, as public frustration with the American health system grows. Wendell Potter was once vice president of Cigna, until the work convinced him to quit the industry completely. In a recent op-ed, Potter highlights the pressure shareholders have placed on public health companies, and where the industry can go from here. Next, The Wall Street Journal’s Joanna Stern shares her top tech gift ideas for last-minute holiday shoppers. On her list are yearly digital subscriptions and paid password managers. Plus, lawmakers avoided a government shutdown, President-elect Trump has new picks for his administration, and the Lion King prequel fell flat during its box office opening weekend.
