...would subsidize coverage for the poor, establish a base-line benefits package and create insurance cooperatives. It would also prevent discrimination against people considered bad insurance risks. But unlike Clinton's program, Cooper's would not compel employers to provide coverage, only encourage them to do so with tax incentives. Cooper's proposal differs from Clinton's in another important way: it has significant bipartisan support. It is sponsored by 50 members of the House, including 22 Republicans; in the Senate eight moderate Republicans and Democrats are writing an almost identical version.

A Securities and Exchange Commission investigation was in full swing, along with criminal investigations by U.S. Attorney Rudolph Giuliani. No official accusations were leveled...
...serious about reducing carbon emissions, we'll need a much larger renewable energy sector than the one we have - and that will mean bipartisan government action, in the form of carbon caps and subsidies that dwarf the miniscule tax credits now available. Our government's inability to cooperate and fund an invaluable energy program that costs less than a $1 billion a year is simply unreasonable - no matter what you think about global warming...
