Just one month after Congress moved to strengthen legislation around the hemp industry, a recent White House executive order supports marijuana research. The Trump administration says the drug may be an underlooked treatment for chronic pain. 

Healthcare experts say 2025’s Affordable Care Act open enrollment period was more confusing and stressful than usual. 

An estimated 400,000 Pennsylvania seniors are expected to save money on common drugs for diabetes, heart disease and cancer this year. Lower prices for 10 medications covered by Medicare Part D plans are going into effect in 2026.

Pennsylvania lawmakers approved a number of new laws in 2025. Some of those new laws are taking effect in January. 

And a deeper dive: Political candidates are leaning on artificial intelligence to take increasingly pointed — and sometimes misleading — shots at their rivals. WITF’s Jaxon White reports as the technology gets more realistic, experts say voters will have to work harder than ever before to figure out what’s real. 

Lancaster County Commissioners passed a 2026 budget, on Christmas Eve, that includes a 10% property tax increase. 

York County Commissioners are disbursing more than $3 million to local organizations. The money is from the latest round of opioid settlement grants. 

Throughout the holiday season, there have been several stories of goodwill here in central PA. 

And the first federally funded electric vehicle charging station is now open along the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
