...districts, and the House rejected the commission idea outright. While the Senate bill does contain a version of the commission, it has become weaker at every turn in the process. Under a deal to win hospitals' support for the bill, the Senate Finance Committee agreed they would be exempt from the commission's recommendations at least through 2019; doctors, hospices and medical-equipment suppliers would be beyond its reach entirely. Who is left? Maybe no one. "The exception for hospitals and other providers is fundamentally counter to the goals of the original bill, and I will work to see that...
...fans hold him and his impeccable image, silence is rarely if ever a wise option in a media frenzy like the one surrounding his midnight misfortune. He risks looking as if he's hiding something - and, just as bad, he appears to be behaving as if he should be exempt from the kind of police scrutiny most plebeians would expect after trashing public property at 2:30 in the morning.

The result left part of Indiana in Central Time, part in Eastern Time, part observing daylight saving and part observing standard time throughout the year. Indiana resumed observing daylight saving on a statewide basis in 2006, but it still has counties in both Eastern and Central Time...
...name not be published, wants her hospital to offer. She has concerns about the mercury used in some flu shots and also feels that the New York State requirement is an infringement on her right to decide what treatments she receives. But neither of these reasons is sufficient to exempt her; only a medically documented condition like an egg allergy (flu vaccine is grown in chicken eggs) is an acceptable reason for not getting immunized...
