Headlines I Wish I Hadn’t Seen
Weekly Standard: senators who voted against the debt deal will be ineligible to serve on the super committee that will reform entitlements. That would preclude Coburn, DeMint, Hatch, Rand Paul.
Hospitalist care costs Medicare an extra billion dollars a year: study.
Because of ObamaCare, citizens of 17 states do not have access to child-only health insurance.
Diets do not work because starved brain cells eat themselves, prompting hunger signals: new study.
Hate that first item. Nobody is better than Tom Coburn.
No child insurance? Why isn’t that front page news in every paper in the country? Above the fold?
No diet works? Surely that’s wrong.
Obama is anti-child? But I already knew that. You can’t side with the teacher unions and be anything else. Remember: children can’t vote.
Senator Murkowski of Alaska seems to be a leader in the child-only insurance fight.
The first article is confusing, is it a provision of the law or was it a McConnell standard?
They just posted this update: McConnell spokesman Don Stewart says all senators will be considered. “No one is stronger in his opposition to tax hikes than Sen. McConnell. He will have serious discussions with all those who are interested in serving prior to making any appointments.”
I take it that was the rumor coming out of McConnell’s office, and now they are backstepping?
