SENATE APPROVES HEALTH CARE REFORM
WASHINGTON – With support from a lone Republican, a key Senate committee Tuesday approved a middle-of-the-road health care planthat moves President Barack Obama‘s goal of wider and affordable coverage a giant step closer to becoming law.
Maine Republican Olympia Snowe said she was laying aside misgivings for now and voting to advance the bill, a sweeping $829-billon, 10-year health care remake that would help most Americans get coverage without creating a new government insurance plan. “When history calls, history calls,” said Snowe.
Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., called his bill “a commonsense, balanced solution.” A distance runner, Baucus has endured months of marathon meetings to get this far. It’s not the finish line.

(Joesph)Rocha says others, including his chief, suspected he was gay when he showed no interest in sexual escapades with women. He became a prime target, he says. “It was everyday for 28 months, for 16 hours a day. Nothing I did was good enough; all of my achievements were overshadowed by ridicule of my sexuality.”
In its own investigation of the Bahrain unit, the Navy found more than 90 incidents of hazing and other abuses. It says sailors were “hog-tied’ … force-fed liver dog treats and told to make dog and duck sounds” and “…duct-taped to a chair, rolled outside, and then left in a dog kennel until released.” That last example, Rocha says, was about him.
According to the investigation, Rocha and several others in his unit also allege the man who ordered much of the abuse was Chief Master-at-Arms Michael Toussaint. “He loved his authority. He loved his power,” says Shaun Hogan, who served in Bahrain with Rocha and says he was hazed as well. He and other sailors told CNN that Toussaint created such an atmosphere of fear, no one was immune – even Toussaint’s number two, Jennifer Valdivia.
