An Alternative to Obamacare. By Tom Coburn, Richard Burr, Paul Ryan, and Devin Nunes, RCP
The plan is interesting, if not fully fleshed out. The Republican congressmen co-opt some traditionally Democratic ideas including industry regulation. The plan doesn't seem to lay out much of what they plan to do to reduce health care costs. I'll be interested to see how the plan develops.
Dissecting the Republican health care plan (Part I). By Ezra Klein, Washington Post
Klein seems to be dead on in his analysis. The Republican party seems to be coming to the center a little in hopes of giving citizens what they really want, solutions to their problems. This could be a sign of future negotiated health care bill somewhere between this Republican bill and Obamacare.
Republican Newt Gingrich calls for Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi to resign. By Huma Khan and Jonathan Karl, ABC News
First of all, if Gingrich really wants to be involved, he should run for office again. Aside from that, his opinion that the CIA was damaged by accusations of deception is ridiculous. It's the CIA, accusing them of deception is like accusing a poker player of bluffing, it's what they do. We know for a fact that the CIA has lied to Congress in the past.
Birmingham police beating video: Officers to be disciplined for beating unconscious man. By Carol Robinson, Birmingham News
The man had just flown out of a car that flipped over, he could have easily died. Those cops could be charged with attempted murder. I've worked with a lot of cops in my career and the majority know that it is essential that they maintain professionalism if they want the community to work with them. Videos of 5 white cops beating a half-dead black man with weapons and then trying to cover it up are not going to accomplish that.
