Wofford may have picked the right analogy, and certainly the Clintons regard health reform as a warlike crusade. But in Congress, it’s going to be a long, hard war, and almost no one is expecting unconditional victory. It is becoming increasingly clear that the best President Clinton can hope for is a compromise that falls short of his own plan for universal health coverage. Last week the Clintons learned they would almost surely lose a critical ally....
Insurance companies can no longer base premium on an applicant’s medical history (or a small group’s overall medical history), and cannot reject an applicant based on their pre-existing conditions or overall health history. But ACA allows individual and small group health insurers to adjust premiums based on just four factors—geographic location, age, family size, and tobacco use. Health insurance premiums vary from one zip code to another. Older people are charged more than younger people, with a cap of three times the rates that apply to a 21-year-old, and smaller premiums for people under the age of 21....

So, when a shooter of Allen's caliber hits a rough patch, the assumption is that the minor struggle will be short-lived. As Monday rolled around, however, Miami was still waiting for Allen to come out on the other side of his slump. He showed signs that he could be done with one of the worst shooting slumps of his career in the Miami Heat's 121-114 loss to the Atlanta Hawks....
That’s not out of the question. MORE: Questions facing Eastern Conference | Gerald Green says he’s ‘ashamed’ of bizarre incident The Miami Herald reports the Heat intend to make a bid to bring in Durant as the salary cap is set to spike to an estimated $89 million next season, an increase of more than $20 million. With plenty of salary space, the Heat are in position to land any of the top-tier free agents, but the addition might come with a cost as it would likely mean the departure of Hassan Whiteside, with Dwyane Wade needing to take a pay cut....
It’s a fair question to ask, considering Richardson blocked Cavaliers forward Richard Jefferson into oblivion on Saturday night. MORE: Burning questions heading into the NBA’s stretch run Equally impressive was the hustle Richardson demonstrated to get to that loose ball: He jumped over Jefferson’s limp, rejected corpse. Poor Jefferson. He was sure he had the easy basket, when out of nowhere comes Richardson to emphatically deny the bucket. Well, Richardson has the advantage — he is 13 years Jefferson’s junior....

The hosts suffered a 3-0 defeat against Changchun Yatai last time out and will look to quickly move on from that result. Hebei’s four-game unbeaten run came to an end on Monday as they suffered a 3-0 defeat against a rampant Changchun Yatai side. Despite seeing just 39% of the possession, Changchun Yatai came out victorious through goals from Serginho, Long Tan and Brazilian forward Erik. Jong-bu Kim’s side have now failed to taste victory in their last three outings after playing consecutive goalless draws with Shanghai Shenhua and Beijing Guoan in their previous two outings....
Frenchman Hebert recorded an eight-under 64 – the best score of the event so far – on day three in Shenzhen, with seven birdies, an eagle and a solitary bogey.

The hope was always that the three of them would eventually figure stuff out enough to record more, and that Phife would be healthy enough to be a part of it. The closest anyone got was the 2011 documentary “Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest,” some festival dates and a Jimmy Fallon appearance. Now, Phife, or Malik Taylor, is gone at 45. He was diagnosed with diabetes before the release of Tribe’s second album, and it followed him for the rest of his life....
