Chile health minister Dr. Jaime Manalich said the 33 trapped miners must remain slender enough to pass the escape tunnel, around a 35 inch waist, as rescuers outline a holistic program. He described a two kilometer network to walk, resting areas, food and work zones, plus daily routines and entertainment to endure months underground.

Millions of seniors may need new Medicare drug plans
A Avalere Health analysis estimates over 3 million beneficiaries could lose their current prescription plan during Medicare open enrollment as the government reduces duplicative coverage. The shift would narrow options from 40 plus plans to about 30, potentially raising premiums and copays while preserving coverage. Officials dispute the study’s numbers.
