The problem with group insurance is that healthcare isn't a group decision, it's personal. Group insurance means businesses get one carrier and just a few plan options for the whole company, but that doesn't fit everyone's needs. Now, a new coverage option called an I-C-H-R-A, or ICHRA, allows employees to buy any plan from any carrier. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, plan on something personal. Plan on an ICHRA.

[upbeat music] From The New York Times, it's the Headlines. I'm Tracy Mumford. Today is Thursday, June 18th. Here's what we're covering. A senior Trump administration official gathered reporters on a conference call yesterday in order to release the full text of the deal the US has reached with Iran. Until that point, the specific language of the agreement had been secret. And going paragraph by paragraph, the official read the document aloud, stopping to defend each section along the way. As the terms of the deal were laid out, what became clear was that the document, which is being called a memorandum of understanding, is far from the unconditional surrender President Trump had demanded from Iran. At the start of the war, Trump said the goal was the total destruction of the country's nuclear and missile programs, and the fall of its regime. That hasn't happened, and the deal pushes off talks about Iran's nuclear program to future negotiations.
