...Ryan shares sponsorship of the Patients' Choice Act with Senators Tom Coburn and Richard Burr. Also in the Senate is the Wyden-Bennett plan, a rare truly bipartisan bill that enjoys the support of several GOP sponsors, including Senator Bob Bennett, a Utah Republican. That plan, co-sponsored by Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden, would mandate that everyone purchase health insurance and be able to prove it - similar to auto insurance - and would subsidize those who can't afford it.

A scaling back of these services would certainly have a large impact on students and their Housing experience...
...position of assistant to the Allston Burr Resident Dean may face significant “restructuring” as House Masters grapple with the administration’s mandate to trim next year’s House budgets by 25 percent. According to House administrators, who spoke to The Crimson on condition of anonymity for fear of losing their jobs, the College administration is currently considering two proposals, both of which would scale back the position. One option is to consolidate the responsibilities of the 12 resident dean assistants, requiring one assistant to manage two or three Houses. The other...
