MALPRACTICE SUITS Obama received a standing ovation when he raised the issueof doctors being afraid to practice because of lawsuits, butthere were a few boos when he said he did not support caps onmalpractice awards. Instead, Obama called for exploring a range of ideas toscale back “excessive defensive medicine.” Doctors have long complained they must pay high malpracticeinsurance premiums because of the lack of limits on suits, andthose costs are often passed to patients as higher fees. Obama said a public healthcare plan would “injectcompetition into the healthcare market that forces waste out ofthe system and keeps the insurance companies honest.” He acknowledged that expanding coverage to all Americanswould have a short-term cost but stressed it would not add tothe deficit in the next decade. But with some estimates puttingthe cost at $1.2 trillion, critics say the reforms will onlyadd to the country’s growing mountain of debt. The Congressional Budget Office said in a preliminaryestimate that a healthcare plan proposed by Democratic SenatorEdward Kennedy — closely mirroring Obama’s wishlist — wouldadd $1 trillion to the deficit over 10 years and still leavemillions uninsured.
[ID:nN15240598] “There are already voices saying the numbers don’t add up.They are wrong,” Obama said, outlining plans to pay for thereforms, including tax increases on wealthier Americans andspending cuts. A Senate Republican leader, Jon Kyl, predicted momentum forreform would slow as the public learns more about Democrats’plans. “He knows momentum will inevitably slow for something thatis extraordinarily costly, will deny people coverage that theyalready have, will ration their healthcare and could providesome kind of government insurance company that is going todrive out private insurance companies,” Kyl said.

By Jonathon Burch TALBOZANG, Afghanistan, June 16 (Reuters) – Fifty-year-old Abdul Wadud walked for two hours across Afghanistan’s remote northern mountains to hear a police commander give yet more promises of aid for those who turn their backs on growing opium Wadud does not grow drugs But if no money comes soon, he will. “Thegovernment told us several times they would help us and they didn’t,” he said, crouching barefoot on the ground in traditional Afghan loose shirt and trousers and explaining he feeds a family of 15 on occasional work as a day labourer. “If the government or the aid organisations don’t help us — yes we will have to start growing opium,” he said. “If they build us schools and roads we promise never to grow opium.” Wadud and around 30 other village elders from the area had gathered on a hillside deep inside the Hindu Kush mountains, to attend a “shura”, or meeting, organised by provincial authorities to dissuade the men from growing the drug.
Their Badakhshan province in remote northern Afghanistan has been a showcase for government efforts to battle the drugs trade, which accounts for nearly all the world’s heroin. Until 2006 Badakhshan was one of the main opium growing areas in Afghanistan, producing the country’s second biggest crop. But last year its output fell by 95 percent, to a mere 200 hectares under cultivation, close to being declared ‘poppy free’ by the United Nations, which credited government information campaigns and eradication programmes for the success there. The United Nations has warned, however, that last year’s improvement may not hold without more aid for poor farmers.

He is quite possibly the most talented player in the league, but how can anyone live up to the standards being thrust upon him? He is being called the best player in the league but his game has numerous faults, like the fact that he has no mid-range game, is a poor man defender, and as shown this off-season has sportsmanship issues.

Marvin Williams is a young forward who is a wise investment for any team. Getting Bosh would probably require Curry and possibly other players to complete, but Bosh is more worthy of a huge deal than Amar’e is.The Stoudemire deal is far from dead and it’s still possible that Curry will be included.But the Warriors’ new GM has so far avoided the shortsightedness that has handicapped the franchise for the last decade. He has proven himself to be an outstanding decision-maker and deals with the Big Three better than any other point guard in the NBA could.The 2009 offseason will be an interesting one for the Green. Most analysts did not expect Belinelli to fall that far in the draft and saw him as definite lottery talent.They saw him as a gifted playmaker that would thrive in Don Nelson’s run-and-gun offense.Belinelli had a disappointing rookie campaign, only playing seven minutes a game for the Warriors.He upped his game last year for a depleted Golden State team, but so far has not been able to do anything other than shoot.Worth the Hype?Not unless something changes.All he does is shoot, and he doesn’t even do it that well.His defense is weak, he doesn’t rebound, and he averaged only 2 apg..
