And the beings that emerge aren't elegant, superior dudes like Michael Rennie and Keanu Reeves; they're large, icky insect types, with wriggling worms where their noses might be. Nor do they issue the lofty proclamation that the peoples of the world must resolve to live in peace (or we'll all be killed). Instead, these space things, more than a million of them, hang around for 20 years in a ratty part of Joburg called District 9 while their vehicle awaits the spare parts it needs to make the trip home...

The purpose of this is not to ration health care but rather to ensure that Americans don't buy plans with hidden loopholes and gaps. The House plan says this minimum benefit must cover at least 70% of the cost of hospitalization, doctor's visits, prescription drugs, maternity care and prevention, among other services. The House plan also limits annual enrollee cost-sharing to $5,000 for individuals and $10,000 for families. A Senate plan says minimum benefit coverage must include similar...
