...Congress has offered worthwhile, partial solutions. Universal coverage will allow everyone to visit a doctor before minor health issues turn into expensive, life-threatening ones. A proposed insurance exchange for individuals and small businesses will promote greater competition between insurers, making coverage cheaper. Cutting Medicare reimbursement rates will encourage greater efficiency from doctors and hospitals. These provisions will achieve real cost savings from...
...refused to relaunch negotiations with the Israelis until they agree to the freeze on construction on land conquered in 1967 - as Obama has demanded - and agree to negotiate on all final-status issues, including sharing Jerusalem and the fate of Palestinian refugees.

The Administration had hoped to cajole Abbas and Netanyahu to join Obama for a meeting on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York later this month where they would relaunch direct talks, but right...
