The White House expects to soon unveil a health policy framework that includes a two-year extension of Obamacare subsidies due to expire at the end of next month and new limits on eligibility, according to three people granted anonymity to discuss the unannounced plans. The proposal would mark President Donald Trump's foray into Capitol Hill negotiations over how to address health care premium spikes set to hit Affordable Care Act enrollees if Congress lets the premium subsidies expire. A White House official declined to confirm the details of the plan, saying, "Until President Trump makes an announcement himself, any reporting about the administration's healthcare positions is mere speculation." MS NOW first reported news of Trump's intent to announce a new health care framework as soon as Monday to address spikes in ACA insurance premiums.

The White House is preparing a health-policy framework that would extend Affordable Care Act insurance premium subsidies for two years, Politico reported on Monday, a move that could put President Donald Trump at odds with some of his fellow Republicans. Millions of enrollees in ACA health insurance programs -- also known as Obamacare -- face sharp premium increases with the subsidies due to expire on December 31.

President Trump confirmed Tuesday that he would "rather not" keep enhanced Obamacare subsidies that are set to expire at the end of this year after rumors swired that the White House was about to pitch a two-year extension. Instead, Trump called for sending money meant for the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits directly to Americans so they can pick their own health plan. "Somebody said I want to extend them for two years. I don't want to extend them for two years. I'd rather not extend them at all," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to his Mar-a-Lago resort.

President Donald Trump now says extending Affordable Care Act subsidies "may be necessary" as the enrollment deadline looms for millions of Americans who are set to see their premiums skyrocket in the new year. "Somebody said I want to extend it for two years. I don't want to extend it for two years. I'd rather not extend them at all," Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday night, pushing back on reports that the White House was going to pitch a plan that would have included a two-year extension of the subsidies. Trump, though, notably went on to say "some kind of an extension may be necessary to get something else done because the unaffordable care act has been a disaster. It's a disaster."

Love is a beautiful thing, no matter how old the couple is, but there's something special about a love that's spanned most of a lifetime. Many people dream about growing old with the love of their life, making plans to have babies, and sit in a rocking chair holding their babies' babies, but few get to actually live out that dream.When you come across a couple who have been married for 50 or 60 years or longer, it's common to ask them their secret to long-lasting love. But there's at least one centenarian who simply embodies what true love looks like in the golden years. He doesn't offer up any secret advice, just a spontaneous act of pure, unadulterated love, and people cannot get enough of it.A 103-year-old man reunites with his wifeA woman from Colombia posted a video to her Instagram page, enfermeraestilosa, showing the moment her 103-year-old grandfather reunited with his wife after a month-long hospitalization. He was so excited that he forgot he needed his walker when he went running towards the love of his life.The text that accompanies the video translates from Spanish to English to say, "This is how my 103-year-old grandfather receives the love of his life after a month in the hospital, where we thought she would leave forever. How sad that things have to happen to realize that the lottery touches us every day with health, with family, and with the love of the people we are close to. Yes, today is another day, we have hit the jackpot. Merry Christmas, grandparents, you are together again." View this post on Instagram A post shared by enfermera estilosa (@enfermeraestilosa)Commenters just couldn't get enough of his enthusiastic joy over seeing his wife."I wish nothing else in this life that a love so pure and sincere that lasts forever.""How beautiful, you made me cry with joy and excitement. What a pity that love of that generation is lost! Cheers to them, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and maybe great-grandchildren.""True love is forever without doubt.""I want a love like this.... How beautiful it made me cry.""I'm crying on the subway and I don't think I'm the only one."Miraculously, the grandfather in the video reached his 104th birthday in March of 2025, and yes, he is clearly still madly in love with his wife. View this post on Instagram A post shared by enfermera estilosa (@enfermeraestilosa)"Days before he turned 104, my grandfather became very, very ill, and I was afraid to lose him, but to him, what scares him the most is losing her," reads the translated caption on a video of the couple embracing on his birthday. "To her and to life. It sounds strange, but he never talks about death. He talks about life."What are the grandfather's keys to happiness?His granddaughter shared that she'd asked him years ago what he thought the key to happiness was. He answered:- Do what you want and not what you 'should do for fear of.'- Do no harm to anyone.- Have a dream (and not a material one)."I know you are not eternal, and one day you won't be, and I won't be able to see your wrinkles and your look when you see grandma, but you will always be eternal," the granddaughter wrote. "Grandparents are eternal."It's extremely rare for people to have a love this strong and live past 100. Studies show that only 0.03% of people worldwide reach 104 years old. That is a blessing in and of itself. Another great question that his granddaughter should ask is what he attributes his old age to. Is it his diet? Excercise? Frame of mind, or is it just pure love for his family?

It's a good reminder of what truly matters and how love can endure when we treasure it like this 104-year-old treasures his wife. No matter how much time they have left together, it's clear they'll make the most of it.This article originally appeared last year. It has been updated.

Emulator & DOS Altirra Emulator (latest version): http://www.virtualdub.org/altirra.html. We are going to look for the latest version. In this case, it’s Altirra4.31.zip Save this some place easy to find. I’m going to save to the desktop in a folder called Altirra Next, I’m going to unzip it right here. Note that of course you can put this any place on your system. I am doing it here for simplicity The next ingredient will be the MyDOS 4.5 ATR (boot disk): I have always wanted to try Mydos and never have, so this will be a new adventure for me.The mydos 4.5 is available at Archive.org The link is in the notes linked to the videohttps://archive.org/details/a8b_MyDOS_4.50.1M_1988_Woodmark MyDOS 4.5 ATR (1988, Woodmark)You don’t need a torrent, you can simply show all the files and download the atr image. I am going to download it right into my altirra folder, again, for simplicity.  Altirra BASIC cartridge (atbasic.bin) or executable (atbasic.xex) — included with Altirra distribution. The next things we need are our  Linux Workflow Tools (Flatpak) This is the Application discover application for the PikaOS. Pika is based on Ubuntu / Debian based distro that comes backed with Multimedia and game related drivers and uses the very windows like KDE Desktop environment We need these three apps, which I have already installed:  Bottles (Windows app manager for Wine/Proton):flatpak install flathub com.usebottles.bottles Flatseal (permissions manager for Flatpak apps):flatpak install flathub com.github.tchx84.Flatseal Kate (powerful text editor for editing BASIC listings):flatpak install flathub org.kde.kate
