His title is a jawbreaker: director of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons. But Ambassador-at-Large Luis CdeBaca's target is, simply, slavery. “We tend to say, slavery: bad; 1865: taken care of,” he tells me, wiping his hands dismissively as if washing away the scourge

Senate Republicans, powerless to stop the bill from even coming to the floor for weeks of debate unless they could break the ranks of the robust Democrat majority, countered with an equally impassioned denunciation of the measure. They derided it as an ill-conceived, budget-busting expansion of government and a threat to the health and economic security of all Americans, especially the elderly.

Uninsured patients with traumatic injuries, such as car crashes, falls and gunshot wounds, were almost twice as likely to die in the hospital as similarly injured patients with health insurance, according to a troubling new study. The findings by Harvard University researchers surprised doctors and health experts who have believed emergency room care was equitable. “This is another drop in a sea of evidence that the uninsured fare much worse in their health in the United States,” said senior author Dr
