Huffington Post: Americans Would Support Public Option If It Reduced Deficit, Says HuffPost/YouGov Poll

Posted: 06 Dec 2012 11:04 AM PST

Health care costs have become one focal point of the fiscal cliff negotiations, with Republicans offering a plan that would include major cuts to Medicare.

But revisiting the public option, an approach suggested in 2010 by President Barack Obama's fiscal commission, has attracted virtually no consideration, perhaps because it's not widely seen as a cost-cutting measure, according to an online HuffPost/YouGov Poll.

People are divided on whether or not the public option, which would create a government-run health insurance plan, is a good idea, with 32 percent saying yes, 29 percent no, and the rest that they're not sure. But if adding the public option would reduce the national deficit, 45 percent would support the plan, while just 22 percent would disapprove.

Conservative media watchdog group One Million Moms is angry about Ellen DeGeneres' new Christmas ad for J.C. Penney, NBC's "Today Show" reports.

DeGeneres, a spokeswoman for the department store, is featured in a holiday ad in which she asks a group of Santa's elves to make more toys for a giveaway contest but winds up making a bunch of clumsy "small" jokes in the process.

The ad did not sit well with the group, who said the following about DeGeneres (via Boston.com):

Huffington Post: Aspirin 'Resistance' May Actually Be Caused By Pill's Coating, Study Suggests

Posted: 06 Dec 2012 11:06 AM PST

As many as one third of people who take daily aspirin for heart-health reasons don't seem to reap the drug's blood clot-busting benefits, and a new study has identified a possible reason for why: the pill's coating.

Researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found that the coating on aspirin seems to delay the absorption of the drug by the body, thereby resulting in "pseudoresistance" to aspirin's effects. Coating is added to some aspirins to make it more stomach-friendly. Aspirin is often taken as a regular measure because it's been shown in past research to lower the risk of repeat heart attack.

The findings "question the value of coated, low-dose aspirin," study researcher Dr. Garret FitzGerald, M.D., director of the Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics, said in a statement. "This product adds cost to treatment, without any clear benefit. Indeed, it may lead to the false diagnosis of aspirin resistance and the failure to provide patients with an effective therapy. Our results also call into question the value of using office tests to look for such resistance."

Huffington Post: Unemployment Extension Demanded By Democrats

Posted: 06 Dec 2012 11:06 AM PST

WASHINGTON -- Democrats in Congress demanded on Thursday that any upcoming "fiscal cliff" deal include a continuation of federal unemployment insurance, which is set to expire at the end of the year.

"We have 2 million families that are in a very difficult situation if we do not extend unemployment insurance benefits," Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) said during a press conference at the Capitol. "This is the real cliff."

Unless Congress acts to reauthorize federal benefits for the long-term unemployed, 2 million laid off workers will abruptly stop receiving benefits after Dec. 29, according to the National Employment Law Project, a worker advocacy and research group.
