A new report is confirming that fewer people than expected are taking advantage of subsidies to purchase health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. The Congressional Budget Office study, based on updated enrollment figures up through last month, says that 11 million people are likely to purchase subsidized policies under the health care law, down about 4 million from estimates issued early last year.

FILE - In this Nov. 10, 2016 file photo, discontinued Indian currency notes of 1,000 denomination are seen after they were deposited by people at a bank in Bangalore, India. Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, in his Nov. 8 televised address, announced the demonetization of India’s 500 and 1,000-rupee notes, which made up 86 percent of the country’s currency. There are doubts about whether the demonetization drive will truly make an impact on corruption and tax evasion. India’s underground economy is so big it accounts for up to a quarter of the country’s gross domestic product. And many of those possessing piles of black money have come up with ways to save much of it without drawing government attention. (AP)

In this Wednesday, April 8, 2015 photo, students are served breakfast at the Stanley Mosk Elementary School in Los Angeles. In this Los Angeles Unified School District program, and in other major urban school districts, breakfast is increasingly being served inside the classroom. The number of breakfasts served in the nation’s schools has doubled in the last two decades, a surge driven largely by a change in how districts deliver the food. Instead of providing low-income students free or reduced-price meals in the cafeteria, they’re increasingly serving all children in the classroom. (AP Photo/Nick Ut) (AP)

Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? Well, it depends

The belief in breakfast's importance is rooted in "misinterpreted research and biased studies"
