SPORTS The Redskins announced some of their plans for their first-ever home Thanksgiving game next week. Among other things, there will be a pregame parade, a tailgating contest and more than eight hours of potential tailgating, plus video boards to watch the 12:30 and 4:30 p.m. games. The team also referred to the game in its news release as “the Thanksgiving Game Presented by Loudoun County Economic Development,” which is as big a mouthful as any serving of turkey can provide. The team announced that FedEx Field’s parking lots will open at noon, more than eight hours before the scheduled 8:30 p.m. kickoff against the Giants. The organization will set up seven large HD video boards throughout the parking lots for fans to watch the two earlier games: Vikings-Lions, then Chargers-Cowboys. There will be a party for season ticket holders, featuring a performance by cover band White Ford Bronco. You can debate whether this is better or worse than debating politics

local After big election wins, Va.’s governor is a rising star among Democrats VIRGINIA The success of Democrats in last week’s Virginia elections was a political windfall for Gov. Terry McAuliffe, raising his profile as a potential presidential candidate in 2020. His party’s unexpectedly strong victory — taking governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general by wide margins, and coming within a hair of gaining control of the House of Delegates — added to McAuliffe’s bragging rights as a Democrat who knows how to win in the era of Donald Trump. It was McAuliffe who put Gov.elect Ralph Northam on course for the top job, recruiting him four years ago to run for, and win, lieutenant governor. And Northam triumphed last week on promises to continue McAuliffe’s policies of protecting and expanding civil

McAuliffe also delivered Virginia last year for his old friend Hillary Clinton, the only Southern state to defy the Trump tide. Seen just four years ago as a hard-partying wheeler-dealer who made his name raising money for the Clintons, McAuliffe — who is prohibited by the state constitution from seeking a consecutive term as governor — has new national gravitas.

McAuliffe’s push to unlock federal dollars by expanding Medicaid, which the Republican-controlled General Assembly has so far resisted, was probably the right call. “He would be the one to bring the working-class jobs debate to Trump’s base and make the argument that he could peel some of it away in the battleground workingclass swing states,” Fredericks said. “I fear Terry McAuliffe more than any other candidate in the Democratic field in 2020.” Few others will go that far, but after last week’s strong showing, McAuliffe has at least earned mentions in the chatter about presidential contenders. “It sure doesn’t hurt, let’s put it that way,” Republican pollster Whit Ayers said. “But any Democrat who has hopes of national prospects has got to figure out how to bridge the governing-Democrat-versusBernie-socialist divide, and I don’t think anyone has quite figured that out.” GREGORY SCHNEIDER

TRANSPORTATION At a recent public hearing on a proposal to decriminalize fare evasion on Metro, D.C. Council member Charles Allen made a shocking admission. Allen, chairman of the panel’s judiciary committee, is a repeat offender. “I can’t tell you the number of times that I’ve tapped my card and it gave me the beep that said my balance had dropped below what the fare was,” said Allen, D-Ward 6, a daily bus rider. “And the driver just said, ‘Just fill it up when you get to the station.’ ” “I’ve never once thought, ‘I’m going to actually get a citation or have a criminal record for riding the bus,’ ” he said. Allen’s conclusion — that a business suit-wearing white man would be an unlikely target of a fare evasion sting — is part of the perspective propelling proposed legislation in D.C. that would decriminalize fare evasion, lowering the maximum possible fine from $300 to $100 and eliminating the possibility of jail time. The D.C. Council’s move mirrors a trend in cities across the country, based on a growing awareness among lawmakers of how issues such as legacy policing practices, unconscious bias

The D.C. Council is weighing legislation that would decriminalize fare evasion, lowering the max fine from $300 to $100 and eliminating jail time.
and systemic racism can unfairly target communities based on race or age — even in the seemingly mundane case of fare jumping. Some legislators question whether fare evasion should be a crime at all, arguing targeted enforcement campaigns are bound to ensnare poor and low-income people who don’t have the money to pay their fares — let alone fines. “Absolutely, there’s been a raised consciousness on this that did not exist 20 or 30 years ago,” said Nassim Moshiree, policy director at the American Civil Liberties Union of D.C. “Activism like the Movement for Black Lives has had a positive impact on raising awareness that policing — and the explicit and implicit bias in policing — means that certain communities are impacted in unfair ways.” Metro General Manager Paul
Wiedefeld said he understands concerns about unfair targeting, but he also thinks that people across demographic boundaries feel a sense of injustice that some flout the rules and ride free. “It’s a fairness issue, across the entire community,” Wiedefeld said. “You have people in those same communities that they’re concerned about being targeted, who are paying their fares. And I think it’s right that everybody pay their fare.” At a recent hearing, that council bill to decriminalize fare evasion seemed to have the support of several members — with Jack Evans, who also is Metro board chairman, the lone voice of opposition. For now, the proposal remains at the committee level, and Allen says he is mulling how to proceed. MARTINE POWERS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT The tax package proposed by House Republicans could lead to a collapse of funding for affordable housing and spike taxes for many middle-class families in the nation’s capital, D.C. officials said Monday. At a news conference outside the U.S. Capitol, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, both Democrats, said the proposal to eliminate the deduction for state and local income and property taxes could lead to sharp hikes in the overall tax bill for some District families. The increase could be more than 10 percent in some parts of the city, they said. The plan also could cripple efforts to create and preserve affordable housing in D.C. and cities across the country by eliminating a key provision of the tax code that encourages private developers to build low-income housing, they said. Bowser and Norton said the House bill’s impacts are particularly jarring in the District, which already has the highest per capita federal tax rate in the nation despite lacking voting

representatives in Congress. “We have more than paid our share,” Norton said. Emily Schillinger, a spokeswoman for the House Ways and Means Committee, noted that the House bill preserves the mortgage and charitable deductions and a portion of the local property tax deduction. Congressional Republicans are working to hammer their respective versions of a tax bill into shape. “We want the Congress to go back to the drawing board on this bill,” Bowser said, “to be deliberate, to be fair and to make sure middle-class families are not paying for tax cuts for the super-rich.

MIDDLE EAST Rescuers dug with their bare hands Monday through the debris of buildings brought down by a powerful earthquake that killed more than 400 people in the mountainous border region between Iraq and Iran, with nearly all of the victims in an area rebuilt since the end of the ruinous 1980s war. Sunday night’s magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck about 19 miles outside the eastern Iraqi city of Halabja, according to measurements from the U.S. Geological Survey. It hit at 9:48 p.m. Iran time. The worst damage appeared to be in the Kurdish town of Sarpol-e-Zahab in the western Iranian province of Kermanshah, which sits in the Zagros Mountains that divide Iran and Iraq. Residents fled into the streets as the quake struck, with no time to grab their possessions, as apartment complexes collapsed into rubble. Outside walls of some buildings were sheared off, power and water lines were severed, and telephone service was disrupted. The hospital in Sarpol-e-Zahab was heavily damaged, and the army set up field hospitals, although many of the injured were moved to other cities, including Tehran. The quake also damaged an army garrison and buildings in the border city and killed an

unspecified number of soldiers, according to reports. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei immediately dispatched all government and military forces to aid those affected. The quake killed 407 people in Iran and injured 7,156 others, Iran’s crisis management headquarters spokesman Behnam Saeedi told state TV. Most of the injuries were minor, he said, with fewer than 1,000 still hospitalized. In Iraq, the earthquake killed at least seven people and injured 535 others, all in the country’s northern, semiautonomous Kurdish region, according to its Interior Ministry. The disparity in the fatality

figures between the two countries immediately drew questions from Iranians, especially because so much of Sarpol-eZahab was new. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s office said he would tour the damaged areas today, which was declared a national day of mourning. Authorities also set up relief camps and hundreds lined up to donate blood. Sarpol-e-Zahab was heavily damaged during the eight-year war between Iran and Iraq in the 1980s. After the war, Iran began rebuilding the town. Under thenPresident Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s plan, dubbed Mehr or “kindness” in Farsi, about 2 million units were built in Iran,
including hundreds in Sarpole-Zahab. Many observers criticized the plan, warning that the low-quality construction could lead to a disaster. “Before its 10-year anniversary, Mehr buildings have turned into coffins for its inhabitants,” the reformist Fararu news website wrote Monday. In Iraq, the quake shook buildings from Erbil to the capital of Baghdad, where people fled into the streets. Iraqi seismologist AbdulKarim Abdullah Taqi, who runs a state-run earthquake monitoring group, said the main reason for the lower casualty figure in Iraq was the angle and direction of the fault line in this particular quake.

nation+world MANILA, PHILIPPINES Winding down his visit to Asia, President Trump repeatedly praised Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, called him by his first name, shared a joke with him about the media and even complimented Manila’s weather. What he did not do Monday was what many of his predecessors made a point of doing while abroad: publicly highlight human rights abuses. Duterte has overseen a bloody drug war that has featured extrajudicial killings. But during brief remarks to reporters, Trump said he and Duterte have “had a great

Disregarding diversity COURTS President Trump is nominating white men to America’s federal courts at a rate not seen in nearly 30 years, threatening to reverse a slow transformation toward a judiciary that reflects the nation’s diversity. So far, 91 percent of Trump’s nominees are white, and 81 percent are male, an Associated Press analysis has found. Three of every four are white men, with few African-Americans and Hispanics in the mix. The last president to nominate a similarly homogenous group was George H.W. Bush. The shift could prove to be one of Trump’s most enduring legacies. These are lifetime appointments, and Trump has inherited both an unusually high number of vacancies and an aging population of judges. That puts him in position to significantly reshape the courts that decide thousands of civil rights, environmental, criminal justice and other disputes across the country. Trump is anything but shy about his plans, calling his imprint on the courts an “untold story” of his presidency. “Nobody wants to talk about it,” he says. “But when you think of it ... that has consequences 40 years out.” He predicted at a recent Cabinet meeting, “A big percentage of the court will be changed by this administration over a very short period of time.” Advocates for putting more women and racial minorities on the bench argue that courts that more closely reflect the demographics of the population ensure a broader range of viewpoints and inspire greater confidence in judicial rulings. So far, Trump has nominated the highest percentage of white judges in his first year since

The AP reviewed 58 nominees to appellate and district courts, as well as the Supreme Court, by the end of October.

diversifying the federal bench. White men represented 37 percent of judges confirmed during Obama’s two terms; nearly 42 percent of his judges were women. Some of Obama’s efforts were thwarted by a Republican-led Senate that blocked all of his nominations he made in the final year of his presidency, handing Trump a backlog of more than 100 open seats and significant sway over the future of the court. Trump has moved aggressively to name new judges, getting off to a much quicker start than his predecessors. He has nominated more than twice as many as Obama had at this point in his presidency. Many of Trump’s white, male nominees would replace white, male judges. But of the Trump nominees currently pending, more than a quarter are white males slated for seats have been held by women or minorities. Of the eight seats currently vacant that had non-white judges, only one has a non-white nominee. In Obama’s first year, his confirmed judicial nominees were 31 percent white men. Bush had 67 percent, Bill Clinton 38 percent, George H.W. Bush 74 percent and Reagan 93 percent. White House spokesman Hogan Gidley says Trump is focused on qualifications and suggests that prioritizing diversity would bring politics to the bench. “The president has delivered on his promise to nominate the best, most-qualified judges,” he said. “While past presidents may have chosen to nominate activist judges with a political agenda and a history of legislating from the bench, President Trump has nominated outstanding originalist judges who respect the U.S. Constitution.”
The nation’s heart experts tightened the guidelines for high blood pressure Monday, a change that will sharply increase the number of U.S. adults considered hypertensive in the hope that they, and their doctors, will address the deadly condition sooner. Acting for the first time in 14 years, the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology and nine other groups redefined high blood pressure as a reading of 130 over 80, down from 140 over 90. The change means that 46 percent of U.S. adults, many of them younger than 45, now will be considered hypertensive. Under the previous guideline, 32 percent of U.S. adults had high blood pressure. “We’re recognizing that blood pressures that we in the past thought were normal or so-called ‘prehypertensive’ actually placed the patient at significant risk for heart disease and death and disability,” said Robert M. Carey, co-chairman of the group that produced the new report. “The risk hasn’t changed. What’s changed is our recognition of the risk.” The report’s authors predicted that relatively few of those who fall into the new hypertensive category will need medication. Rather, they hope, that many will be able to address it through lifestyle changes. LENNY BERNSTEIN

nation+world Woman says Moore sexually assaulted her when she was a minor
POLITICS A new accuser said Monday that as a teenager in the 1970s she was sexually assaulted by Roy Moore in a locked car, further rocking the Alabama Republican’s race for an open Senate seat. The allegation came the same day that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Moore should quit the contest, and Moore fired back that it was McConnell who should step down. Even before the news conference by Beverly Young Nelson, Moore’s campaign released a statement saying that Nelson’s
attorney Gloria Allred “is a sensationalist leading a witch hunt.” It said Moore is innocent and “has never had any sexual misconduct with anyone.” In tears, Nelson said in New York that when she was 16, Moore offered her a ride home from the restaurant where she worked in Gadsden, Ala. She accused him of touching her breasts and locking the door to keep her inside his car. She said he squeezed her neck while trying to push her head toward his crotch and tried to pull her shirt off. Moore finally stopped and she fell or was pushed out of the car. He warned her that no one would believe her because he was a county district attorney, Nelson said. Before Monday, Moore was

when he was in his 30s and pursued romantic relationships with three other teenagers. “I believe the women,” McConnell, R-Ky., said Monday. He said flatly that Moore should step aside for another GOP candidate. McConnell said a write-in effort was a possibility. “The person who should step aside is @SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell. He has failed conservatives and must be replaced. #DrainTheSwamp,” Moore responded on Twitter. The crossfire escalated a GOP civil war over Moore’s Senate candidacy in a Dec. 12 special election, which until last week’s allegations was viewed as an inevitable Republican win.

Spain warns EU about cyber-meddling suspicions involving Russia in Catalonia
More than 400 American millionaires and billionaires are sending a letter to Congress this week urging Republican lawmakers not to cut their taxes. The wealthy Americans say the GOP is making a mistake by reducing taxes on the richest families at a time when the nation’s debt is high and income inequality is back at the worst level since the 1920s. The letter calls on Congress not to pass any tax bill that “further exacerbates inequality” and adds to the debt. Instead of petitioning tax cuts for the wealthy, the letter tells Congress to raise taxes on rich people like them. It is being released publicly this week, as Republicans debate legislation that would add $1.5 trillion to the debt to pay for widespread tax cuts for businesses and individuals. The letter was put together by Responsible Wealth. Signers include Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, fashion designer Eileen Fisher and billionaire hedge fund manager George Soros, above. Cutting taxes on businesses and individuals in order to encourage investment is the centerpiece of President Trump’s plan to spur growth and jobs. But signers of the Responsible Wealth letter argue that corporations are already at record profit levels and that wealthy people don’t need more money. HEATHER LONG

The cost of Uncle Sam’s care BENEFITS Is the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) a good deal? Is the premium increase another hit to the shallow pockets of staffers and retirees? Can feds save money by shopping around? Yes, yes and yes. For Walt Francis, an independent health economist who studies FEHBP, last month’s news about rising premiums was “almost a ho-hum” moment. No dramatic changes were announced, and that’s a good thing in Francis’ view. He said FEHBP “remains a solid program” that offers enrollees “spectacular savings opportunities.” Francis is the chief author of Checkbook’s annual Guide to Health Plans for Federal Employees & Annuitants. Health insurance premiums paid by federal employees and retirees will increase by 6.1 percent in 2018. The overall average premium increase of 4 percent, which includes the share paid by the government and enrollees, “certainly is not out of line” with other health insurance programs, Francis said. Four percent, however, is about twice the general inflation rate. Among some of the most popular plans, the increases were less than average and in a few cases, premiums dropped. “Everybody would rather have a bigger pay increase and a lower premium increase,” Francis said. But while the health insurance program might be a good value, the premium increase represents another hit on federal employees and retirees. Feds on the payroll expect a 1.9 percent pay raise in January, but that could

What does an increase in premiums for federal employees mean for open enrollment?
“These rate hikes mean less take-home pay for current and retired federal workers and another year of difficult decisions by many families on how to pay their bills.” J. DAVID COX SR., president of the American Federation of Government Employees, explaining how premium increases to the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program will affect federal workers
be undercut by the increase in out-of-pocket payments toward retirement, with no increase in benefits, advocated by President Trump and congressional Republicans. The premium hikes “far eclipse any increase in wages or Social Security payments next year,” said J. David Cox Sr., president of the American Federation of Government Employees. “These rate hikes mean less take-home pay for current and retired federal workers and
another year of difficult decisions by many families on how to pay their bills.” The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) said the premium hike would amount to $9.04 on average per biweekly pay period, while the average pay raise would be $60.50. Individuals can shop around and choose health insurance plans during the open enrollment period for federal employees that runs through Dec. 11. FEHBP is the nation’s largest
employer-sponsored health insurance program, covering 8.3 million people. While the government pays about 70 percent of health insurance premiums, on average, its share of the premiums, which is determined by a statutory formula, will increase by about 3.2 percent. The nearly two-thirds of enrollees covered by a Blue Cross/ Blue Shield plan will pay $7.17 more per biweekly pay period next year than last year for self-only coverage; $17.04 more for self plus one other person; and $17.72 for self and family coverage, according to OPM. For enrollees with other health insurance companies, their premiums in those categories will increase by an average of $5.57, $12.55 and $12.17. The 6.1 percent increase for 2018 is a little lower than the average 6.67 percent hike of the previous 10 years. The high was 11.6 percent in 2010; the low, 3.5
percent in 2012. OPM said it “encouraged all insurance carriers to thoroughly evaluate their health plan options to find ways to improve affordability, reduce costs, and improve the quality of care and the health of the enrolled population. Negotiations were geared to keep premium increases as low as possible while minimizing changes in out-of-pocket costs, such as for deductibles, co-pays, and coinsurance.” Average premiums for vision plan coverage will drop by 0.48 percent, while the cost of dental plans will rise by 1.26 percent. “I urge federal employees and retirees to carefully review their health-care needs and to choose wisely among the plans and enrollment options available to them during this enrollment period,” OPM Acting Director Kathleen McGettigan said in a statement.

Wading through the mess
Despite obstacles, plenty are signing up for Affordable Care Act insurance
More than 600,000 Americans signed up for insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act during the first four days of the new enrollment season, according to federal figures that signal a brisk start despite Republicans’ efforts to dismantle the law. Some 601,462 Americans chose a health plan from Nov. 1-4 in states relying on the federal exchange, figures released Thursday by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services show. Additionally, more than 200,000 Americans chose a plan on Nov. 1, the day open enrollment began, according to one Trump administration official. That’s more than double the number of consumers who signed up on the first day of enrollment last year. More than 1 million people visited healthcare.gov, the official federal website, the official
said, amounting to roughly a 33 percent increase in traffic compared with 2016. But the proportion of newcomers to the ACA marketplaces continues to decline. The 22 percent of new enrollees — 137,222 people — during the opening days in November compares with 24 percent in the early days of 2016. These figures capture only part of the nation’s overall ACA enrollment, because they encompass only states that use the federal health care marketplace or rely on its website for their consumers to sign up for coverage. Roughly a dozen states and the District of Columbia run their own programs and do not use healthcare.gov. An official at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said it would release data regularly throughout open enrollment but did not give any schedule. Experts predicted decreased
JENNIFER VAN METER (FOR EXPRESS)
In the countdown to the annual Affordable Care Act enrollment season, there were plenty of indications that the first sign-up period of the Trump era might be as daunting as any since the debut of healthcare.gov. Among the concerns: a messy mix of higher prices and fewer options, plus less time to sign up, less assistance for doing so and far less government promotion of the opportunity to enroll. Nonetheless, in the first four days of the new enrollment season, more than 600,000 Americans signed up for insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act — evidence that efforts by President Trump and congressional Republicans to undo much of the 2010 law have not dampened consumers’ willingness to turn to the insurance marketplaces.
enrollment would result from actions — and inaction — from the Trump administration. President Trump’s posture toward the sprawling 2010 health care law could not be farther from the cheerleading of its predecessor. While President Barack Obama appeared on the popular online comedy series “Between Two Ferns” to talk up the ACA and enlisted celebrities in the effort, Trump has erroneously claimed that the law’s marketplaces are dead or “virtually dead.” A na r rowed enrol l ment
window — from three months to 45 days — was planned by the Obama administration for the approximately three dozen states that rely on the federal insurance exchange. But the change was to have begun for 2019 coverage; instead, the Health and Human Services Department announced in April that it would take effect for the current sign-up period, which ends Dec. 15. Additionally, the administration has lowered the enrollment season’s visibility. It slashed federal spending on advertising
and other outreach efforts by 90 percent — to $10 million. Grants for “navigators,” which guide consumers seeking coverage, plummeted by about 40 percent overall. Despite Trump’s criticism, a narrowed enrollment window and steep cuts to federal advertising and enrollment assistance budgets, Americans appear to be signing up for coverage at a faster rate compared with last year. It is unclear whether the extensive media coverage of efforts to roll back the law or
consumers’ concerns about its viability may be helping fuel the increase. Grace-Marie Turner, president of the conservative Galen Institute, said some of the changes the administration has made may have helped boost enrollment, such as the fact that “private brokers are actually being engaged” to provide assistance through the federal website and some cheaper plans are now available. Liz Hagan, associate director of policy at the National
Health care at home The District’s marketplace has seen the highest volume of first-week activity since the first year of enrollment. On just the first day last week, nearly 9,300 people visited the DC Health Link website to shop for plans, compared to 6,727 last year. Mila Kofman, executive director of the DC Health Benefit Exchange Authority, credits the uptick in interest to a concentrated effort by the District to publicize open enrollment as a way to push back against the confusion that has swirled around the law. J.E. AND C.I.
Association of Health Access Assisters, said in an email that she and other ACA supporters are “encouraged by what we’ve seen thus far. Thankfully, people sharing the facts about coverage and open enrollment have cut through the noise and rhetoric by the Trump administration.” The chief marketing officer for the Washington (state) Health Benefit Exchange, Michael Marchand, believes the mixed messages and doomsday forecasts leading up to Nov. 1 may have actually helped increase
marketplace visitation — which is up 20 percent — because it forced people to ask themselves how the changes will affect them personally. But Peter Lee, executive director of Covered California, said that many of the people who tend to sign up for coverage as enrollment starts tend to need insurance the most, and the critical question is how many young, healthy Americans will sign up some weeks from now. “The real test for open enrollment isn’t Day One. Federally, it’s Day 45,” Lee said. “Young, healthy people need to be reminded, told, nudged and cajoled dozens of times to take the act of signing up for coverage.” For now, ACA support teams have their hands full. In Montgomery County, one navigator group even had to stay open two hours late last Sunday because of demand. The steady and consistent stream of insurance-seeking individuals are a mix of new applicants and re-enrollees, said Alma Luna, who has worked as an in-person navigator for all five enrollment seasons. “I’ve seen a lot of people who didn’t apply in previous years and are trying to apply now,” she said. “A lot of people already have enrollments, but they want to be reassured that nothing has changed considering what they’ve been hearing around the community.” Still, open enrollment isn’t over yet. Though this year’s process has gone relatively smoothly, Hagan said there is less assistance in rural areas, “creating an unequal playing field that harms consumers.” And while Lee expects many state-run exchanges will maintain the same number of insured residents by the time open enrollment ends, he thinks states relying on the federal exchange will see a drop-off. “We’re very likely to see fewer people enrolled in federal marketplace states, which is going to lead directly to higher premiums in 2019 because you’re going to have a sicker pool,” he said. “It’s bad math.” AMY GOLDSTEIN, JULIET EILPERIN AND COLBY ITKOWITZ (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Some reasons for those huge ACA numbers More than 600,000 people signed up for Affordable Care Act insurance in the first few days of open enrollment. We explore a few reasons for the surge. PAIGE WINFIELD CUNNINGHAM
More generous subsidies This is a phenomenon stemming from Trump’s decision to cut off extra payments to insurers for cost-sharing reductions they must offer. As a result, many insurers hiked prices for their mid-grade “silver plans,” which brought subsidies up for all plans, including low-cost ones. Enrollees eligible for subsidies will get $555 on average, up 45 percent from this year.
Reminder emails Healthcare.gov has been sending out emails to its database of enrollees, telling them to find a plan on the website. Although the Trump administration isn’t using some of the email messaging strategies that were effective in years past, email remains a major way Americans remember to sign up.
Return of the brokers Before the Obama administration instituted restrictions on private brokers, they had helped enroll about 40 to 50 percent of marketplace customers. Last spring, the Trump administration reversed the crackdown, so brokers can once again enroll people in marketplace plans.
Ads don’t matter … yet. Reduced advertising in the Trump era wouldn’t dampen sign-up at the beginning of the season, because that’s when motivated customers are enrolling. “Outreach has an outsize effect the last week or two weeks,” said Josh Peck, who heads up the group Get America Covered.

Know the difference between Medicare and Medicare Advantage
The basics Medicare Advantage plans must provide the same benefits offered through traditional Medicare — services from hospitals, physicians, home health care agencies, laboratories, medical equipment companies and rehabilitation facilities, among others. Nearly 90 percent of plans also supply drug coverage. In 2018, 68 percent of plans offered will be health maintenance organizations (HMOs), while 27 percent will be preferred provider organizations (PPOs). The remainder are small, specialized plans that are expected
Choosing a Medicare Advantage plan has implications for the future as well as the present. For example, if someone enrolls in a Medicare Advantage plan when she first joins Medicare and stays with a plan for at least a year, she may not qualify for supplemental Medigap coverage if she joins traditional Medicare later. Med igap pol icies c over charges such as deductibles, coinsurance and copayments that seniors with Medicare coverage are expected to pay out of pocket. People who join Medicare for the first time are guaranteed access to Medigap policies only for a limited time. Afterward, they can be denied coverage based on their health in most states.

HEALTH CARE CHOICE As health insurers struggle with shifting government policies and considerable uncertainty, one market remains remarkably stable: Medicare Advantage plans. That’s good news for seniors as they select coverage for the year ahead during Medicare’s annual open enrollment period, which runs through Dec. 7. Medicare Advantage is an alternative to traditional Medicare. For 2018, 2,317 of these Advantage plans will be available across the country. Run by private insurance companies, the plans are expected to serve a record 20.4 million people next year, or slightly more than onethird of Medicare’s 59 million members. While a few insurers are entering or exiting the Medicare Advantage market, most established players are remaining in place. Eight insurers dominate the market: UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Anthem, plans affiliated with Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Kaiser Permanente, Aetna, Cigna and WellCare. Here are some essential facts to consider.

Extra benefits, such as vision care, dental care and hearing exams, that aren’t offered under traditional Medicare. An all-in-one approach to
Access that is limited to hospitals and doctors within plan networks. (Traditional Medicare allows seniors to go to whichever doctor or hospital they want.) Rules that can create barriers to accessing care (for example, getting approval from a primary-care doctor before seeing a specialist). Financial incentives to limit services. (Medicare Advantage plans receive a set per-memberper-month fee from the government and risk losing money if medical expenses exceed
payments.) Limits on care that members can get when traveling. (Generally, only emergency care and urgent care are covered.) The potential for higher costs for specific services. (For example, some plans charge more than traditional Medicare for a short hospital stay, home health care or medical equipment such as oxygen.) Lack of flexibility. Once someone enrolls in Medicare Advantage, they’re locked in for the year. There are two exceptions: a special disenrollment period from Jan. 1 to Feb. 14 (anyone who leaves during this time must go back to traditional Medicare) and a chance to make changes during open enrollment. (Shifting to a different plan or going back to traditional Medicare are options at this point.)
Parsing costs There’s a widespread perception that Medicare Advantage plans cost less than traditional Medicare. But actual costs depend on an individual’s circumstances and aren’t always easy to calculate. T h i s ye a r, t he aver a ge monthly premium for Medicare Advantage plans is $30, almost $2 below last year’s. But nearly half of Medicare Advantage members are enrolled in plans that don’t charge a monthly premium, what are called zeropremium plans. (Seniors also need to pay Medicare Part B premiums, although some Medicare Advantage plans cover some or all of that charge.) To get a full picture of plan costs, which can vary annually, seniors should look beyond premiums to drug expenses; deductibles; what plans charge for hospital care (some have daily copayments for the first week or so); and coinsurance rates for services such as home health care or skilled nursing care.

LOOKING AHEAD
After a painful defeat, Kelley and Compton could be out for weeks REDSKINS There’s a silver lining in the final stretch of Washington’s season, and it takes the form of a string of games — five of their final six — against teams that currently have losing records. But for that late-season stretch to have an appreciable payoff, the Redskins must reach Week 12 — when they host the foundering Giants (1-8) on Thanksgiving night — with a viable chance at an NFC wild-card spot. With that as a goal, coach Jay Gruden’s club hurt itself badly with Sunday’s 38-30 loss to the Vikings, dropping to 4-5 after squandering an early lead. If it’s true that the Redskins simply didn’t match the Vikings’ venom at FedEx Field, as defensive backs Bashaud Breeland and D.J. Swearinger suggested in the aftermath, Gruden said Monday
that the fault was his. “For the most part, players have to get ready to play, and I have to do a better job of getting them ready to play,” Gruden said. “If they’re not ready, then that’s on me.” But Gruden has a more tangible problem to deal with — more injuries — as the team prepares to visit New Orleans on Sunday. MRIs confirmed that running back Rob Kelley suffered a high ankle sprain as well as a sprained medial collateral ligament in his knee Sunday. And middle linebacker Will Compton, who had only recently reclaimed a starting role after Mason Foster was placed on injured reserve, suffered a Lisfranc foot injury. Both will miss “a few weeks,” Gruden confirmed, and could finish the season on injured reserve. The immediate concern is simply finding another running back to help shoulder the load. The Redskins have just three backs on their roster
MARK TENALLY (AP)
Stumbling team suffers more injuries Running back Rob Kelley, top, hurt his knee and sprained an ankle Sunday, and middle linebacker Will Compton suffered a foot injury.
Grant had concussion Wide receiver Ryan Grant entered the concussion protocol Monday after getting hurt Sunday. He left in the first quarter after being hit by Vikings tackle Linval Joseph on a 5-yard catch. Wide receiver Brian Quick and tight end Niles Paul are also in the concussion protocol. Quick didn’t play Sunday; Paul has missed the past two games. (TWP)
— Kelley, rookie Samaje Perine and third-down specialist Chris Thompson — after waiving Mack Brown on Oct. 28 to make room for Arie Kouandjio amid the raft of injuries to the offensive line.
Brown has since been claimed off waivers by the Vikings. Perine will assume a greater role, Gruden said. The coach added he hopes that with more carries, the rookie will find the physicality he showed en route to becoming Oklahoma’s all-time rushing leader. Gruden said the front office has a rank-ordered list of four or five running backs — some on rivals’ practice squads, others who are free agents — and would be working out candidates. Gruden also said DeAngelo Hall suffered a bone bruise in his knee, a potential setback for the already thin ranks at safety.
Saints offer new worries for defenses With Sean Payton and Drew Brees, the Saints — who host the Redskins at 1 p.m. Sunday — have long been known for their air attack. But this season the offense in New Orleans (7-2) features the NFL’s top running back duo, Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara, below, who combined for 237 yards and four touchdowns in a 47-10 rout of the Bills on Sunday. Ingram (4.7yard average, 7 TDs) is the starter and takes the bulk of the carries; Kamara, a rookie, plays on third downs and spells Ingram occasionally. Payton has been creative in designing plays that get Kamara to the edge in space, where he can show off his electric talent. He has 417 yards on the ground (6.5yard average) plus 42 receptions. (TWP)

Judge, Bellinger win unanimously MLB Right fielder Aaron Judge and first baseman Cody Bellinger have been voted unanimously as Rookies of the Year after their record-setting home run binges lifted the Yankees and Dodgers into the postseason. The voting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America was announced Monday night. Judge became the first Yankees player to receive the award since Derek Jeter in 1996. The 6-foot-7 slugger’s victory was a foregone conclusion after he led the American League with 52 home runs and helped the Yankees reach the postseason as a wild card. His homer total beat the AL rookie record of 49 that had been held by Mark McGwire.

It’s never too late to lift
Strength training for seniors allows them to stay independent and prevent injuries EXERCISE Three years ago, she couldn’t do a single pushup and certainly had never heard of a “reverse fly.” Today, Solveig McCulloch, 79, can easily do 10 pushups and rocks her 5-pound dumbbell flys. “I am definitely stronger, and my balance and flexibility are better, too,” says McCulloch, who started exercising regularly — twice-a-week strength training, in addition to daily walking — for the first time at age 76. For her generation, she says, working out was not a thing. That said, the National Council on Aging reports that more than half of seniors are active at least four times per week.
muscle loss, and improved blood pressure and blood-glucose levels. But exercising can be a doubleedged sword for someone 65 or older. Yes, there are benefits, but the risks are also greater than in a younger population, Mullner says. For example, a fall can lead to a hip fracture for someone with osteoporosis. The risk of cardiovascular disease (such as a heart attack) also increases with age. First, clear any new routine with a doctor. Then solicit advice from resources such as the National Institute on Aging (go4life .nia.nih.gov), a trainer or a doctor about what kind of routine is appropriate for you, Mullner says.
A tailored program Benefits and risks It’s never too late to start working out, says Justin Mullner, a D.C. sports medicine doctor. “You can see dramatic benefits from exercising in older adults,” Mullner says. These benefits include prevention of osteoporosis and
That’s where someone like Stephen Burgett, a D.C. personal trainer, comes in. Burgett tries to identify goals and design a program that will help clients stay injury-free while working on endurance, strength, balance and flexibility — all important

components of fitness. “The first thing I do is an assessment. I look at their range of motion, their movement patterns, how well they sit and stand,” Burgett says. Then he uses that to design a workout program. If, for instance, he finds that a client loses his or her balance easily, he might look at strengthening the gluteus, because hip muscles are crucial for balancing. Gluteus muscles can be strengthened with the gluteus bridge (lying on your back on the floor, feet planted close to the hips and lifting the hips) and squats. Many older adults also have
weak back muscles, causing them to hunch forward. Burgett might have them do a seated row (a pull motion) and a squat with a shoulder press to strengthen their upper back. He might also include planks for core strength (to help with posture) and a modified pullup (to help strengthen the upper back).
Quick progress “People — especially if their baseline is low — will see increased strength quickly. I would say within a month,” Burgett says. For seniors, fitness is often a way to stay independent: having strength to lift boxes off shelves, walk up and down stairs and carry groceries and do laundry. “I can lift things like garbage bags and packages, and gardening has become much easier,” McCulloch says of her newfound fitness. “I can do it without taking breaks. I can dig holes and bend over without any problems.”
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady says the secrets to his success include avoiding mushrooms, tomatoes and eggplants. He also limits dairy, gluten, white sugar, white flour, sweets, condiments, alcohol and salt. A major motivator for his food choices fighting inflammation, he writes in his book, “The TB12 Method: How to Achieve a Lifetime of Sustained Peak Performance.” But science has yet to connect those dots, and there are reasons to be skeptical. Despite evidence linking inflammation with heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer and arthritis, it isn’t always bad. It’s an immune system reaction that helps fight infections. It also follows injuries and exertion, leading to muscle soreness and stronger g muscles. EMILY SOHN (TWP)

My twin girls have got me off balance Q. My husband claims I favor one of our twin girls over the other. It is true that one is easier to raise and perhaps easier to love. They are 4 and the other one tests my boundaries and patience. But I do my best to treat them the same. He doesn’t know what it’s like to be on your fifth hour of whining and disobeying. It’s left me bitter and overanalyzing everything I do. HATE THAT ACCUSATION No two siblings, even twins, are ever possibly “treated the same.” So throw out that goal; your twins are different, and what works with one might not work for the other. But that’s not a free pass to be less loving toward one of them, which brings me to my second point: You sound overwhelmed. And the more your husband accuses you of favoritism (which might
be true), the more you’ll reject it as invalid, and resent it because he doesn’t understand. So, reframe the problem: You have a tough 4-year-old who is testing your limits and affecting family relationships. You need more support: with your husband’s time, with self-care, with one-on-one relationshipbuilding with each child, and with breathers from the kids.

At last, ‘The Punisher’ gets live-action justice Jon Bernthal makes for a perfect Marvel lead in Netflix’s new series
‘Lord of the Rings’ series officially a go at Amazon
Jon Bernthal’s Punisher is just as scary as he looks.
Amazon announced Monday that it has obtained television rights for “The Lord of the Rings” fantasy book series. Under the deal, which includes a multi-season production commitment and a potential spinoff, Amazon’s tales from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth will effectively be a prequel to “The Fellowship of the Ring.” Sharon Tal Yguado, head of scripted series for Amazon Studios, said in a statement that they “are thrilled to be taking ‘The Lord of the Rings’ fans on a new epic journey.” Amazon Studios will produce the series while working with the Tolkien estate and trust, HarperCollins and the Warner Bros. division New Line Cinema. (TWP) NETFLIX
STREAMING Few Marvel characters have existed in the same live-action developmental purgatory that the Punisher has. Dolph Lundgren gave it a go as Frank Castle in 1989 in a movie you perhaps forgot existed. Thomas Jane had the charisma but none of the grit and was placed in an inexplicably sunny Tampa Bay setting in 2004’s “The Punisher.” And “Punisher: War Zone,” starring Ray Stevenson, flopped at the box office in 2008, with no franchise potential. The one thing those films had in common were that they were Punisher flicks in name only. They had guns and the iconic white skull logo over the chest, but that was it. There was no soul. In Netflix’s “The Punisher” series, out Friday, lead actor Jon Bernthal doesn’t need to a white skull or a gun for you to know that he is the Punisher. Though he debuted the character in Season 2 of “Daredevil,” Bernthal’s performance in his own series cements his status as one of Marvel’s great casting gets, on par with Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man/Tony Stark, Chris Evans’ Captain America/Steve Rogers and Chris Hemsworth’s Thor. In the series, after taking down what he believes to be the final evil element of the conspiracy that took away his family in cold murder, Bernthal’s Frank Castle burns his Punisher duds — white skull and all — and assumes that part of him is finally over. But even when bearded, in hiding and doing everything he can to keep the rage within, Castle is undeniably a man who

has come to be defined by punishment and vigilante justice. While all its violence — from the PTSD nightmares Frank Castle has from his days in the military, to his heavily armed war on corruption — is to be expected to those familiar with the source material, it might not even be the best part of the show. Instead, that may go to the very slow building toward a brotherly bond between Frank Castle and his technologically savvy sidekick, Micro (played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach). The Punisher and Micro (called “Microchip” in the comics) are not a good fit at the beginning of the season — Frank
refuses to trust Micro at first — but watching them work toward becoming a vigilante pair gives “The Punisher” its few moments of light fun. There’s also Ben Barnes, who is suave, if predictable, as Billy Russo, a major Punisher villain in the comics. He seduces Amber Rose Revah’s Dinah Madani, a federal agent who doesn’t realize how connected Russo is to the scarring moments that turned Frank Castle into the Punisher. This version of “The Punisher” puts all previous attempts out of their misery. It’s a definitive adaptation that doubles as Netflix’s best Marvel show to date. DAVID BETANCOURT (THE WASHINGTON POST)

But after Warner Bros. suspended producer Andrew Kreisberg — who works on the WB series “Supergirl,” “The Flash,” “Arrow” and “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” — last week following allegations about his behavior, several are speaking out against sexual harassment in Hollywood. “When people commit crimes or harass others, they should always be held accountable — no matter what industry they work in or how much power they wield,” Melissa Benoist, above, the title star of The CW’s “Supergirl,” said Sunday in a statement on Twitter. “Supergirl” castmate Chyler Leigh followed up by posting Sunday to Instagram, beginning with a Maya Angelou quote: “Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.” And Emily Bett Rickards from The CW’s “Arrow” also tweeted Sunday: “To the women who supported one another and to the women finding their voice: You can. You are heroines.” Warner Bros. TV Group began investigating allegations against Kreisberg after 19 unnamed people detailed to Variety cases of harassment. Kreisberg denied the claims, telling Variety: “I have made comments on women’s appearances and clothes in my capacity as an executive producer, but they were not sexualized.” MICHAEL CAVNA (TWP)

@COLLINRUGG, tweeting with the hashtag #BoycottKeurig, which some fans of Sean Hannity’s Fox News show are using after the coffee machine maker pulled its advertising. Keurig withdrew its ads after Hannity appeared to defend Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore against allegations of sexual assault.
“This is what peak performance looks like.” @JRHENNESSY, tweeting about President Trump’s latest awkward handshake. This time, it was at the ASEAN summit in Manila, the Philippines. The crossed-arm group handshake is a tradition at the summit of Asian nations, but Trump’s grimace sent the photos trending online. Trump was shaking hands with Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, left, and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Trump is known for yanking people toward him during handshakes, and his extra-long shake with French President Emmanuel Macron this summer went viral as well.
“Naked streaker on the field had more rushing yards than the Bills.” @BEN_FREEDMAN, pointing out a sad
fact for Bills fans about the man who streaked during the game against the Saints on Sunday in Orchard Park, N.Y. The streaker ran the length of the field — naked — and the Bills ran for only 69 yards. The man was escorted from the field covered by a yellow windbreaker. “Have to say he had the best end-zone dance of the day,” @viccarucci tweeted.

Mattel’s announcement of the first hijab-wearing Barbie, modeled after U.S. Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad. The Barbie is part of Mattel’s “Shero” series, which has honored influential women including model Ashley Graham and director Ava DuVernay.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Someone close to you is likely to need from you exactly what you need yourself, so it’s a good day to cling together and cooperate. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) What you reveal today tells those around you much more than you think, so you may want to tell only so much and no more. Think it through. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are able to solve a riddle very quickly today, and others may get the impression that you can fix anything. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) What you do “for the moment” is likely to make you feel good enough that you want it to go on longer than planned.

Probably the week’s coldest night. Temperatures will tank — with lows ranging from the upper 20s in our colder areas to the mid-30s downtown.
