Arkansas to require voter identification
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Arkansas legislators passed a law Monday requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls, overriding Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe’s veto of the bill, which he called an expensive solution to a nonexistent problem.
The Republican-led state House voted 52-45, largely along party lines, to complete an override that started in the GOP-led Senate on a 21-12 vote last week. A simple majority was needed in each.
“We are trying to protect the integrity of one of the most fundamental rights we have here in America,” said state Rep. Stephen Meeks, a Republican from Greenbrier and the bill’s House sponsor. House Speaker Davy Carter, a Cabot Republican who did not vote for the bill when it passed the House last month, supported the override.
White House proposes delay in health care exchange rule
WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is proposing a one-year delay in a feature of the new health care law intended to give workers at small companies health plan choices similar to what employees of large businesses enjoy.
Starting Jan. 1 small companies with up to 100 workers will be able to buy coverage through new health insurance marketplaces called exchanges. These exchanges are the small business version of new markets also opening up for individuals.
As originally envisioned, employees would have been the ones to pick their plans. But now, for the first year, the employer will choose for the entire company.
Officials say the transition period is needed to smooth the introduction of the program.
Analysts unimpressed with Argentina debt plan
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – Argentina says its plan for paying $1.4 billion in defaulted debt is fully within the spirit of U.S. court rulings.
But Wall Street analysts say the offer, a mix of new bonds to be paid out over the next 25 years, looks nothing like the letter of the law as the appellate court sees it. They say it boils down to just one-sixth of what Argentina was told to hand over in cash.
Many experts looking over the weekend at what President Cristina Fernandez’s government filed with the court at midnight Friday said a new default by Argentina is now much more likely.
And some are predicting that if Argentina loses, it will try to take its money out of U.S. banks, rather than submit to U.S. justice.
Deep Medicare Advantage cuts now deemed unlikely
Medicare Advantage customers may not see the drastic 2014 benefit cuts or premium hikes that insurers have been warning about after all.
Experts say the popular, privately run versions of the government’s Medicare programs likely won’t have to make big changes to their plans to adjust to government funding next year.
Health insurers had warned about those changes after the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said in February that it expected the cost it pays per person to fall more than 2 percent next year. CMS said Monday after markets closed that it now expects that rate to climb more than 3 percent.
