“Conservatives hate Obamacare because it redistributes too much money from the rich and healthy to the poor and sick. But they don’t publicly attack the law on that basis. Instead they attack it for high premiums, high deductibles, and narrow choice of doctors and hospitals – all flaws that any Republican plan would have in much higher doses. Republicans have yet to unify around a single, concrete, describable plan because it is conceptually impossible to design a health care plan that meets conservative ideological goals and is also acceptable to the broader public.”

“Astronomers announced that they had detected a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the closest neighbor to our solar system. Intriguingly, the planet is in the star’s “Goldilocks zone,” where it may be neither too hot nor too cold. That means liquid water could exist at the surface, raising the possibility for life.”
