...launched a website to share those changes and provide contacts for questions or more information. The website will be the portal for the reporting of further progress and the collecting of broad community input.

The tax credits that it provides - $2,300 for individuals and $5,700 for families - fall well short of the average annual cost of a health policy, which is between $10,000 and $12,000 per family, says Robert Blendon, professor of health policy and political analysis at the Harvard University School of Public Health...

But Libération editors explained that sluggish sales on days off don't offset the cost of printing the cash-strapped paper. Rival publications reacted not with smug guffaws, but with more of the same. Conservative daily Le Figaro now says it will also suspend publication on three French holidays. That follows the earlier lead of financial dailies Les Echos and La Tribune to sit out national holidays - a sous-pinching habit to which Catholic daily La Croix and its communist opposite L'Humanité have...
