...supplemental insurance: There won’t be any. While Stupak claims private individuals will be able to purchase a plan that includes abortion—as long as these individuals are not receiving any federal funding or affordability credits—insurance company executives have admitted that with no incentives to provide supplements, they will be “impractical” and unlikely (Jodi Jacobson, RH Reality Check). Insurance companies seem to understand what many Stupak supporters do not: Abortion is a solution for an unplanned pregnancy. President Obama has also indicated that Stupak goes too far (Planned...

The Atkins diet, a modern-day Banting plan that has eaters eschew carbs in favor of protein-rich meals, was written in 1972 and became in later years a weight-loss plan favored by millions. (Critics say it can also cause high cholesterol and bad breath.) Its success spawned imitators like the popular South Beach diet, a more lenient version that invokes the same low-sugar principle. But other modern diets remain pretty far-fetched. One example is the cabbage-soup diet, which promises that...
