Management, would negotiate with insurance companies to

to federal employees, including members of Congress, If these
private plans did not meet certain goals for making affordable
coverage available to all Americans, Senate Democratic aides
said, then'the government itself would offer a new insurance
plan, somewhat like the opublic option ? in the bill Mr. Reid
unveiled three weeks ago. According to the Washington Post,

them to spend 90 cents of every dollar collected on providing

to provide competition to private insurers, forcing them to

As the popularity of text messaging continues to grow, does.
the extreme to which some will use text messa ing to comm :
what they can Tt always put into spoken words. T This became
painfully obvious a week ago when a woman, who claims tohave:_
had an affair with Tiger Woods, told a celebrity publication that ,
he had sent her flirty text Messages, some of which were published.
It follows on the heels of politicians who ran afoul of text LQ:
including a former Detroit mayor who went to prison after his .
steamy text messages to an aide were revealed, and Senator John
Ensign of Nevada, whose affair with a former employee T was
confirmed by an incriminating text message. Some may ask, why
do these public figures take this risk, and why do they later try to
justify the wrong that they have done? It would seem that in light
of all of the public humiliation that has been caused by text
messaging indiscretions, that people would realize the hurt and.
impact it Causes. Yet, text messaging indiscretions are apparently
on the rise... Divorce lawyers say they have seen an increase in
cases in the past year where a wronged spouse has offered text
messages to show that a.partner has strayed. So, why would
someone throw away a marriage or a career by carrying on.a text.
