Tab For Single-Payer Proposal In California Could Run $400 Billion

Image
 proposed single-payer health system in California would cost about $400 billion annually, with up to half of that money coming from a new payroll tax on workers and employers, according to a state analysis. The report  by the state Senate Appropriations Committee, issued Monday, put a price tag for the first time on legislation that would make the state responsible for providing health coverage to all 39 million Californians. The state-run system would supplant existing employer health insurance in California, as well as coverage through public programs such as Medicaid and Medicare. One of the chief obstacles to the legislation,  Senate Bill 562 , is the prospect of higher taxes. It also has exposed deep divisions among Democrats over whether now is the time to pursue  single-payer  — just as the Affordable Care Act comes under attack from Republicans in Washington. At a hearing Monday, one Democratic legislator questioned whether the state can effectively manage a universa

(It must go well because spoiler alert:  She's engaged .) The day before filming began,  Glamour  headed up the 101 Freeway in Los Angeles to meet five of Rachel's suitors and see the rather interesting belongings they packed. Oddest thing in DeMario's suitcase : A T-shirt with a collage of Justin Bieber's faces and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle onesie. Here's why : "I'm a 30-year-old eight-year-old. I eat fruit snacks regularly. I'm a huge Justin Bieber fan. I go to all the concerts. As a kid, I was obsessed with the Ninja Turtles. My mom thought I was going to be a little weirdo. I would crawl and look under sewers, so a few Christmases ago she got me this. I wear it all the time." DeMario's 'Bachelor' role model : "Nick, because he wasn’t a

Everest's Hillary Step: Has it gone or not?

Image
Days after a British mountaineer claimed that a famous rock feature near the summit of Mount Everest had disintegrated, two Nepali climbers have contradicted him. So has the Hillary Step collapsed, and if not, why the confusion? Surely it's either there or it's not? The Hillary Step is a 12-metre (39ft) rock face, forming the last great obstacle before the summit of Everest - wouldn't it be hard to miss? Yes, says British mountaineer Tim Mosedale, who reached the summit on 16 May for the sixth time. He confirmed the step's disappearance to the BBC on Sunday, saying it was "definitely not there any more", and was most likely a victim of Nepal's  2015 earthquake . Mount Everest's famous Hillary Step 'destroyed' But Pasang Tenzing Sherpa, a high-altitude guide who just returned from the mountain, insisted to BBC Nepali on Monday that the step was intact. Ang Tshering Sherpa, President of Nepal Mountaineering Association, agr

Jays' Pillar gets two-game suspension for homophobic slur

Image
TORONTO (Reuters) -  Toronto Blue Jays  outfielder  Kevin Pillar  was suspended for two games on Thursday for directing a homophobic slur toward an  Atlanta Braves  pitcher during Wednesday's game. Pillar, one of MLB's best defensive center fielders, shouted at Atlanta's  Jason Motte  after striking out to end the seventh inning on what he felt was a quick pitch. The heated exchange led to the benches being cleared. "Last night, following my at-bat in the seventh inning, I used inappropriate language toward Braves pitcher Jason Motte," Pillar said in a statement. "By doing so I had just helped extend the use of a word that has no place in baseball, in sports or anywhere in society today. I'm completely and utterly embarrassed and feel horrible to have put the fans, my teammates and the Blue Jays organization in this position." Pillar is in the midst of the best season since making his MLB debut in 2013 and has compiled a .305 battin

The most hilarious possible NBA Draft Lottery results

Image
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAqQzhkFwnM The 2017  NBA Draft  Lottery is finally happening on Tuesday (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). The drawing is held behind closed doors with witnesses, and the results are revealed in the most excruciating, dramatic method possible. It’s basically a half hour of torture for fans of the league’s very worst teams. There’s a twist this year: A bunch of the high picks have been traded. Some of those trades have conditions on them. That means that who gets those picks depends entirely on where they land in the lottery. The most high-profile example is the  Lakers  pick, which transfers to Philadelphia if it’s not in the top three. In other words, there is a huge opportunity for bedlam. To set the stage, we put together the five most hilarious possible lottery results. Fingers crossed we get one of them! 1. The Lakers fall to No. 4 and lose their pick This isn’t hilarious solely for Lakers haters. Remember, L.A.’s inexplicable winning streak to end
