...director, Robert Luketic, who did the very agreeable Legally Blonde (written by two of this movie's screenwriters), falls down big time here. He gets no connection, let alone chemistry, between the two leads, and he botches that obligatory romantic-comedy trope, the falling-in-love-on-the-dance-floor scene. (The film's one decent moment: an elevator kiss.) And as long as he's doing an R-rated comedy, shouldn't he observe one off the genre's cardinal rules and have someone go topless?

The existing program "is designed to meet the needs of low-income individuals and those with complex health needs and has an existing delivery, financing and administrative structure," says the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. "Medicaid coverage for low-income adults could help establish a strong floor of coverage for the low-income population, upon which additional expansion efforts could build." And in some ways, it would be easier for the states to administer an income-based program, rather than one in which they have to keep track of whether recipients fit into a set of multiple...
