About 60 House Democrats led by Rep. Crowley call on Republicans including Reps. King and Latham to abandon their federally subsidized FEHBP coverage and embrace the health care reform they oppose. The letter cites the 1959 plan and its subsidized private options. Sen. DeMint and other conservatives push to repeal Obamacare as GOP lawmakers face questions over coverage.

Beating Heart Transplant Performed in Los Angeles
Andrea Ybarra awoke with her donated heart still beating and warm after an experimental transplant in Los Angeles. The operation, mostly done in Europe, uses a device to keep the donor heart supplied with blood while outside the body. Ybarra, 40, suffers from lupus and felt peaceful upon waking, saying the heart felt part of her. Despite advances, moving hearts in the United States remains low tech.
