夏威夷州长:夏威夷野火已造成至少36人死亡,数千人被迫撤离。火势蔓延迅速,一些人跳入太平洋逃生。 Bill Dorma (夏威夷公共广播电台): 拉海纳镇是毛伊岛西侧美丽的景点,拥有悠久的历史和木制建筑,现在大部分被烧毁。获取准确信息也存在困难,电力和电话服务中断,伤亡人数可能还会上升。约11000名游客在周三离开毛伊岛,另有数百人在机场过夜等待航班。夏威夷虽然有野火,但飓风和干旱的组合加剧了火灾的危险性。 Scott Horsley (NPR):通货膨胀在过去一年中持续下降,但这一趋势似乎已经逆转,汽油价格上涨是主要因素之一,但汽油价格只占整体通货膨胀的一小部分。汽油价格上涨的部分原因是沙特阿拉伯减产原油和墨西哥湾恶劣天气影响炼油厂。夏季空调费用上涨,而联邦政府的低收入家庭能源援助计划主要用于冬季取暖。秋天能源价格可能会下降,但飓风是不可预测的因素。飓风可能会影响石油生产和炼油,从而影响汽油价格。剔除食品和能源价格的核心通货膨胀率预计将下降,但服务价格仍是通货膨胀持续存在的一个担忧。 Regina Prodan (KFF 健康新闻):联邦法律明确禁止医疗保险覆盖用于减肥的药物。2003年制定医疗保险处方药福利计划时,市场上的减肥药疗效不如现在,且当时对减肥药的有效性存在疑虑。诺和诺德公司正集中精力游说国会黑人核心小组及其相关组织,以实现其政策目标。减肥药确实有显著的减肥效果,但也要权衡其成本和风险。
