If you have a child heading off to college this month, you may faintly recall an email from the school about student health insurance. Most elite private colleges, and many public institutions, automatically enroll students in Student Health Insurance Plans. The coverage cost $2,924 a year at public colleges, $3,874 a year at private ones, on average, according to an industry survey of prominent schools in the 2023-24 academic year. And here’s the thing: Many students don’t need it. Here's our report, featuring Julian Treves, Steven Bloom of American Council on Education, Stephen Beckley, Bobbi Rebell Kaufman, CFP®, and Kimberly Palmer of NerdWallet.

So far this year, insured losses from severe convective storms have topped $60 billion. That includes damaging hail storms. Today, Victor Gensini and Walker Ashley at Northern Illinois University and others published a study that concludes hail size is going to get larger in the future, thanks to the warming temperatures that are feeding stronger updrafts in these destructive storms. Just like the tornado story a couple of weeks ago about the work of Victor and Stephen Strader, the big issue is that climate change is a threat multiplier, with greater risks posed by our expanding population. Twenty or 30 years ago large hail and tornadoes could occur in big empty fields and no one would be the wiser. Today, if there are houses and businesses sitting where those empty fields used to be, the risks and costs are greater. Read our story in USA TODAY Gannett | USA TODAY NETWORK here: While scientists haven't definitively concluded that hail is already getting larger, there have been numerous reports to the National Weather Service of grapefruit-sized hail in several states this year. I noticed something this morning about the weather service list of largest hailstones on record. Each record for a larger hailstone is more recent than the last. - Vivian, South Dakota, 2010: 31 ounces, 8 inches in diameter, 18.6 inches in circumference. - Aurora Nebraska, 2003: 7 inches in diameter and 18.75 inches in circumference. Weight not available. - Coffeyville, Kansas, 1970: 27 ounces, 5.7 inches in diameter and 17.5 inches in circumference. Potter, Nebraska,1928: 24 ounces, 5.4 inches in diameter. https://lnkd.in/dhpp_MdE

As Israel pushes for "total victory" in Gaza, U.S. officials say it's finally time to get out. “I'm dubious of the notion that Hamas can be completely eliminated as a terror threat through military means,” former U.S. Central Command chief Mark Quantock told USA TODAY. “Like other terrorist movements, it's incredibly tough to get them all – or even most of them.” If the Gaza death toll is half of the 40,000 reported by Palestinian authorities, Israel has likely doubled the next generation of Hamas fighters, Quantock said. “Not an optimistic assessment for sure, but killing civilians creates lifelong animus,” Quantock said. “People don't easily ‘get over’ the killing of their family members. They just don't.” My latest, with colleagues Tom Vanden Brook and Francesca Chambers. https://lnkd.in/e_gMW63p
