Obama's Valentine's Day bachelor golf holiday marks 23rd vacation | Mobile Washington Examiner

Obama's Valentine's Day bachelor golf holiday marks 23rd vacation | Mobile Washington Examiner: "America, you know how to treat a president and his family.

With another Presidents' Day bachelor holiday planned by President Obama, this time golfing in California, and Aspen, Colo., resort reporters on the lookout for the annual first lady ski trip this weekend, the taxpayer's tab for the first family's vacations has topped $2.4 million.

But that's just the start. That total is just from the skimpy documents detailing travel and security expenses obtained by the public watchdog group Judicial Watch from a handful of first family vacations.

When all of the reporting of the first family’s 22 vacations so far to Hawaii, Martha’s Vineyard, Spain, Colorado, Florida, Africa and elsewhere is added up, the estimate reaches over $18 million when hotel and resort rent, security hotel and car rentals, and airfare are included."

Obama Administration Proposes 1.9% Cut In Medicare Advantage Payments - Kaiser Health News

Obama Administration Proposes 1.9% Cut In Medicare Advantage Payments - Kaiser Health News: "Medicare Advantage plans could see payment reductions of 1.9 percent next year under proposed rates announced Friday by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Insurers, who have led a fierce lobbying campaign against payment reductions, have said the combination of the health law’s lower payment rates, new fees on health plans and other factors, including automatic federal spending cuts known as "sequestration," mean that Medicare Advantage plans will see their Medicare payment rates drop by 6 percent – or even more -- in 2015."

FCC Wants to Tell News Rooms What They Can Report | Vision to America: "News organizations often disagree about what Americans need to know.

Fox News, on the other hand, chooses to cover the September 2012 attacks on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi more heavily than other networks. The American people, for their part, disagree about what they want to watch."
