...Health care: A $100 billion package features money to expand health insurance for laid-off workers, known as Cobra, for longer periods of time and for those who did not have health insurance with their former employers, as well as funds to help state shortfalls on Medicaid. Of this package, $20 billion would be used as a "down payment" for one of Obama's campaign pledges: a separate $50 billion program to modernize the nation's medical records, most of which sit in filing cabinets instead of being recorded online. While the Medicaid grant to states would be a onetime...

We lost our company-sponsored health insurance and struggled - because of my preexisting condition (a bad back) - to find insurance cheaper than COBRA.

That may be because the titanium clubs have become popular only in the past decade, and ultra...
...chat room in 2003. Their mutual interest in Second Life helped their relationship flourish, and the couple married two years later. To mark the occasion, Laura Skye married Dave Barmy, Pollard's avatar (who clearly opted for the modest lifestyle on the game, living in a chalet with a Cobra helicopter gunship parked next to it), in a lavish ceremony on Second Life. "People find love in lots of different ways," Taylor said...
