Description:
Many Americans are facing tough choices between air conditioning and food due to a predicted 8% rise in household utility costs this summer, according to the National Energy Assistance Directors Association. Experts say policy changes in Congress are needed to boost assistance for those struggling most with utility expenses. Lower-income households spend a large portion of their budget on electricity costs which are rising due to fuel prices and transmission fees. Assistance programs that help offset costs need more funding to help vulnerable groups stay cool amid higher bills.

Trump established a policy to cap insulin costs at $35 per month in his last year in office, which Biden later paused for further review. Later Biden's Inflation Reduction Act implemented a similar cap at $35 per month for Medicare users starting in 2023. Trump spent his presidency unsuccessfully trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act without offering an alternative plan. A CNBC survey in December shows Biden leading Trump by 19 points on health care issues.")

The Costco hot dog is an example of loss leader strategy, in which certain products remain below market cost to attract customers and boost sales of more profitable items. The hot dog's history and affordability have made it a cult favorite and a significant part of Costco's culture. The hot dog would cost closer to $4.40 without this strategy.")
