  • Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston.

  • An investigation is underway to determine the cause of a fire that broke out at a popular ski resort in southwestern Switzerland overnight.

  • Terry Schultz reports dozens of people are presumed dead,

  • and more than 100 others suffered serious injuries during New Year's Eve celebrations.

  • Swiss authorities say the fire broke out in a bar in the Creme Montana ski resort around 1.30 a.m.

  • They won't speculate on what caused the high death toll.

  • Many of the wounded suffered severe burns.

  • hospital and emergency responders are overwhelmed officials set at a press conference and patients are being moved to nearby facilities.

  • They're pleading with others out on ski slopes and roads to do their maximum to avoid accidents that could further strain services.

  • That's Terri Schultz reporting.

  • Starting today, millions of Americans will pay a lot more for health insurance.

  • Federal subsidies that help lower the cost of individual marketplace plans expired last night.

  • Some will see monthly premiums double.

  • Sarah Bowden reports that will likely force some people to drop their coverage.

  • Preliminary data from December show that enrollment is down a bit compared to last December,

  • but overall it is higher than expected.

  • That could change over the course of this year.

  • Cynthia Cox is a researcher at the Health Policy Think Tank KFF.

  • it's kind of like the difference between putting groceries in your shopping cart and actually purchasing those groceries.
