Premiums threaten Thompson children under new health law
Washington report on how the Obama health care overhaul could still leave two Thompson children uninsured due to high premiums. Mary and Joe, self employed, struggle with a $500 monthly plan that covers three of four, while Andrew with ADHD and Emily with spina bifida face denial or costly coverage. Experts warn the gap undermines prevention benefits and long term health security for families with medical needs.

Gates orders sweeping defense bureaucracy cuts to save 10 billion
Defense Secretary Robert Gates called for a top to bottom reform of the Pentagon aiming to save at least 10 billion annually to preserve combat power. He criticized wasteful practices and bureaucratic bloat, pledging personal oversight of the restructuring amid tight budgets and aging plans. The speech at Eisenhower Library echoed Eisenhower warnings about a growling military establishment. Gates linked cuts to the post 9/11 budget environment and projected tight funding for years ahead.
