Medicare Part B mispricing threatens fair 2016 premium rise
Editorial urges Congress to fix an inequitable Medicare Part B premium spike tied to a hold harmless rule. With no Social Security COLA in 2016, about 30 percent of beneficiaries face a 52 percent rise, while higher income and non Social Security recipients face larger costs. A broader, gradual solution is needed to protect fairness and offset long term financing risks.

It cites Justice Department data showing violent offenses dominate prisons, with drugs accounting for a minority. Ending the war on drugs alone would not erase racial disparities, and real policy must target violent crime reductions.

U.S. shale oil faces a stressed borrowing base as banks recalculate reserves. Hedge losses loom and debt servicing rises while production declines. Despite hedging, big producers like Continental and ConocoPhillips borrow more to cover negative cash flow, with 2016-17 forecasts predicting a gradual retreat and potential bankruptcies offset by asset sales and private equity buyouts.
