Obama Details his Plan to Expand Health Care to the Uninsured
President Obama on Monday laid out a detailed legislative proposal for overhauling health care. His plan sticks largely to the approach passed by the Senate with unified Democratic support, but it makes concessions to the House version, which was more expensive and would have covered more people.The White House projects that the bill would extend coverage to 31 million people who are currently uninsured, at a cost over 10 years of $950 billion — more than the $871 billion the Senate would have spent, but less than the $1.05 trillion for the version passed by the House.

Police taser highschool student in Monessen, Pennsylvania.
Police officers used a taser to stun a student after a fight broke out at a high school basketball game in Monessen, Pennsylvania.
The incident happened outside the gymnasium at the Monessen High School during a game with Washington High on Friday.
Police say two girls from competing schools began fighting in the hallway.
The fight apparently began in a hallway between a female student from Washington and another from Monessen who were "fighting over a male basketball player,"
The fight spilled into the gymnasium just as the Monessen players took the court to warm up for the second half. Officers say the fight grew to the point where players became involved.
