Third Conservative House Republican Derails Disaster Aid, Keeping Its Fate In Limbo Until Recess Breaks

The objection was voiced by freshman Rep. John Rose (R-Tenn.) after Democrats sought to advance the legislation via unanimous consent.

The New York Times looks at what went wrong with Rosewood Care Centers, and how the program it relied on is a dangerous vulnerable spot for the federal government.The New York Times: A Nursing Home Chain’s Collapse Leaves The Government On The HookThe cracks in the foundation of a Chicago nursing-home business began to appear almost immediately.

Different Takes: Simply Opposing Abortion Does Not Make You ‘Pro-Life’; Trump Needs A Female Czar On Women’s Health Issues

Opinion writers weigh in on topics about abortion and women's health.Boston Globe: If This Is The New ‘Pro-Life’ Movement, Count Me OutWomen are in charge of their reproductive health, and their efforts to reduce unwanted pregnancies are working.

Viewpoints: How Quickly We Forget The Good Things Government Does For Health Care; Sen. Warren’s Plan For Ending Opioid Epidemic Comes Up Short

Editorial pages focus on these health issues and others.The Washington Post: We Love To Hate The Government. Then Along Come Measles.Americans love, love, love to hate on government, for all its foibles and failures. But we conveniently forget that good government has also solved, curtailed or prevented a lot of problems over the years, including epidemics, economic ills and environmental crises. When government works, it becomes largely invisible, taken for granted, wiping out both crises and the traumatic memories of those crises. Bad government we remember and loathe and curse to our children; but good government is often a victim of its own success, the cure so effective that we forget how horrifying the ailment it eradicated was.
