This proposed rule would implement provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively referred to as the Affordable Care Act), and the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA). This proposed rule reflects new statutory eligibility provisions; proposes changes to provide states more flexibility to coordinate Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) eligibility notices, appeals, and other related administrative procedures with similar procedures used by other health coverage programs authorized under the Affordable Care Act; modernizes and streamlines existing rules, eliminates obsolete rules, and updates provisions to reflect Medicaid eligibility...
NOT SO FAST. Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee should not dismiss state Supreme Court nominee Bruce Harris before questioning him. Judicial nominees should not be victims of activist legislators. Or governors, for that matter. Unfortunately, New Jersey's judicial nomination process has been mired in political parry and thrust for several years. Governor Christie started it by refusing two years ago to reappoint Justice John Wallace to serve until his 70th birthday, the mandatory retirement age. The reason wasn't because Wallace was an unfit judge; it was a purely ideological move by Christie to reshape the court to his liking. It was also the first time a governor blocked reappointment since the revamped state constitution of 1947.
Exploiting scientific illiteracy THE PEW APPROACH to polling described above is reminiscent of that used by the Idaho junior high school student Nathan Zohner, who found that 8 6 percent of survey respondents thought the substance "dihydrogen monoxide" should be banned when they were told that prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage, exposure to its gaseous form causes severe burns, and it has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.\n It is no coincidence, according to Taverne, that eco-fundamentalists are strongly represented in anti-globalization and anti-capitalism demonstrations around the world. [...] they are strikingly simi- lar to Alexander Hamilton's summary of the reasons that the United States Constitution would not, in some quarter...

Republicans in the Virginia Senate are incensed that majority Democrats refuse to give a fair hearing to some of the GOP's priority legislation this session. Which is to say, legislation important to the newly muscular tea party faction. The most high-profile: a resolution, SJ 280, asking Congress to call a constitutional convention for the purpose of proposing an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to give states power to repeal federal laws.
This document makes a technical correction to the proposed rule published in the January 22, 2013 Federal Register entitled ``Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Programs, and Exchanges: Essential Health Benefits in Alternative Benefit Plans, Eligibility Notices, Fair Hearing and Appeal Processes for Medicaid and Exchange Eligibility Appeals and Other Provisions Related to Eligibility and Enrollment for Exchanges, Medicaid and CHIP, and Medicaid Premiums and Cost Sharing.'' The proposed rule provided for the close of the comment period to be February 13, 2013, whereas the close of the comment period was intended to be February 21, 2013. This document makes this technical correction.
Among the items included in the regulatory agenda of the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance is the amendment of fair hearing regulations to ensure that the due process rights of appellants are protected. But, Empire Justice Center is concerned that provisions of the amendment, published as a revised proposal in the Feb. 29 New York State Register pursuant to the State Administrative Procedures Act, might not benefit appellants if they do not have an attorney or if specific time limits are placed on appellants to request the reopening of a defaulted fair hearing pursuant to Title 18 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations.
Roanoke voters were tired, sore and angry following November's presidential election, when precincts were short on equipment and long on lines. They were in no mood to tolerate a change that would have reduced the number of voting precincts in the city from 32 to 19. It wasn't that the Roanoke Electoral Board offered an ill- conceived proposal. Much time and thought went into designing the precinct realignment plan, the first overhaul undertaken since 1967.
I am deeply concerned about the nation's financial future. Our country will face a fiscal catastrophe if Washington can't address our debt. Fortunately, some in Congress understand the urgency. For months, a bipartisan group of senators known as the "gang of six" have been working to produce a comprehensive plan to address the deficit. Their approach has earned the backing of No Labels, a political group encouraging bipartisan problem-solving. But already, some on the left and right have begun their attacks. As Congress weighs its next move, we need our leaders to demonstrate courage and political restraint. Let's hope our representatives give the gang of six a fair hearing. If not, we risk more partisan gridlock, which we can't afford.
