He notes no intervention in Friday’s clash leaving at least three dead and 15 injured, cites possible threats, and disputes mission creep while stating US troops are not police for Haiti.

Clinton Urges Senate to Pass Lobby Reform Bill

Opponents including the Chamber, Right to Work, and Christian Coalition warn it stifles grassroots lobbying. Clinton dismissed their claims, linking reform to crime and health reform battles.

Morbidly obese man battles insurance to fund weight loss
Panama City Florida reports Leonard Brown weighs 920 pounds and faces a fatal warning from doctors unless he loses weight. Insurance won't cover the $50,000 six month hospital program needed. He relies on his wife and crutches to move, while genetic factors and family obesity history complicate his case. Medicare would help only partially if he loses employer coverage. A Boston hospital has offered a potential path through its Complicated Obesity Rehabilitation program, but insurers largely view nonsurgical treatment as unproven.
