The U.S. health-care law known as Obamacare turns 10 next year but still finds itself at existential risk both politically and legally. Millions of Americans owe their health coverage to the law enacted under President Barack Obama and fellow Democrats, even as opponents have trimmed its scope. It remains a target for elimination by the Republican Party and Obama's successor, President Donald Trump, who calls it "really bad health care."

Chinese companies are facing a reality check after years of ramping up debt. A deleveraging campaign that President Xi Jinping began in 2016 to curb risks in the nation's financial markets has led to a crackdown on unregulated lending -- so-called shadow banking -- and tighter rules on asset management. That made it harder for some firms to raise funds to repay existing debt, leading to a record number of bond defaults in 2018. There was a respite in the first half of 2019 as the government move

In the years since the bankers deployed trillions of dollars to save the global financial system, the public's faith in their work has been fading.
