GOP Eyes Block To Energy Accord
The House returns to work on a sweeping energy policy bill with Republicans seeking to remove a section on oil price controls that Ford says blocks compromise. The plan would keep a $5.25 ceiling on old domestic oil and set new oil at adjustable levels, with potential boosts for offshore and Arctic oil. Democratic support is uncertain, and a House vote is expected soon ahead of a Senate conference to reconcile differences.

Local doctors varied in response while noting nationwide cost pressure mirrors the situation.
