But that was the only article mentioning the upcoming changes that I found that fit within the LBN 12-hour criteria.

Since "Open Season" is coming up for health insurance, including Medicare, etc (outside of those "life-changing events" like job moves, marriage, births, etc), then a focus is starting about what changes have happened over the past year.

Apparently the articles haven't enumerated the states but I just spotted an article indicating that it is also impacting counties in VT - Tens of thousands Vermonters are set to lose Medicare Advantage option in 2026
