- The steep rise in health insurance costs, with experts predicting the biggest increase in over a decade, which could have a major impact on businesses and their employees in 2024.
- An advisory panel to the FDA unanimously agreed that a common decongestant ingredient found in many over-the-counter cold medicines is actually ineffective. This could potentially lead to a ban on the ingredient phenylephrine and the removal of hundreds of products from store shelves.
