Trump signs order to weaken Obamacare

Trump signs order to weaken Obamacare US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order creating a path for American businesses to band together and buy cheaper employee health insurance. Reuters October 13, 2017 3:32am US President Donald Trump has signed an order to make it easier for Americans to buy bare-bones health insurance plans, using his presidential powers to undermine Obamacare after fellow Republicans in Congress failed to repeal the 2010 law. Trump issued the executive order on Thursday aimed at letting small businesses band together across state lines to buy cheaper, less regulated health plans for their employees with fewer benefits. However these new insurance options may not be available until 2019, and the order could face legal challenges from Democratic state attorneys general.

Nokia 9 render hits the web, seen with a 'new' design LATEST | Oct 13, 2017, 02.00AM IST NEW DELHI: HMD has not yet confirmed whether it will launch Nokia 9 or not but more evidence of handset's existence have started popping up. This time the device's render video has been put up by one of the tipsters on Twitter. Based on the video by @Onleaks, Nokia 9 will be sporting a dual rear camera much like the Nokia 8 but in a completely different design setup. The smartphone is seen with a small capsule rear camera design instead of an elongated one. The LED flash is placed outside the capsule towards the right side. In addition, the fingerprint sensor is seen placed at the back below the rear camera. At the front, the Nokia 9 is seen with dual curved screens, which take up the entire sides. We are not yet sure if the OS will be able to properly utilise them. What might come as a disappointment for Nokia fans is the handset's rear camera...
