...advertised. I mean, if you think about how we've moved this forward, we didn't simply put out some broad principles. We were fairly specific. We said we need to have insurance reform, and that's going to include things like preventing insurers from dropping people because of pre-existing conditions. We said that we are going to need to expand coverage, that an insurance exchange that would provide people a menu of options was an important mechanism to expand choice and help to deliver help to people who didn't have health insurance or were underinsured. We talked...
...conspiracy theory that President Obama was born outside the U.S., revived by the likes of CNN's Lou Dobbs. Sharkbite Summer (Aug. 4) looks back eight years to when a few high-profile shark attacks sent the media into their own feeding frenzy. The summer of 2001, postrecount and pre-9/11, was notoriously slow on news. (Hence, it was also the season of the Chandra Levy media circus.) So when an 8-year-old boy was mauled by a bull shark in Florida, a hungry press attacked...
...thus seen in a new and modern light. For immigrants in general, relatives function as a symbol of stability in a foreign land.

And so it seems that—in a country with four times the population of the U.S. in one-third the area—all anyone really wants is space...
...Clinton, recently said. Emanuel helped work on the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), one of several incremental changes made after Clinton's comprehensive reform failed to go anywhere in 1994. HIPAA was intended to ensure that Americans would not be denied coverage on the basis of pre-existing conditions when they switched coverage while moving from one job to another or from employer-based insurance to an individual plan...
...remember all the high-fiving each other [after passage of] portable health care in 1996," said Emanuel before adding, "It's been empty." Although HIPAA prohibited insurers from denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing conditions, it didn't limit how much insurers could charge in premiums. The result: insurers in states without premium caps were charging those with pre-existing conditions as much as 464% of standard premiums, according to the Government Accountability Office. (Other researchers found examples that were even more egregious, including a Colorado insurer charging premiums as much as 2,000% of normal rates...
