As President Obama prepares to host a ‘jobs summit’ tomorrow, the Australian parliament has offered him one idea to help jump start our economy. Earlier today, the Australian Senate defeated their version of the job-killing cap-and-trade climate legislation. The legislation was expected to pass, but after months of debate, the opposition party dumped its leader and handed the reins to new leader Tony Abbot, who united his party in opposition to the energy tax.

Unfortunately for them, the Democrats’ health care plan would STILL give the force of law to the flawed findings of government panels, like recommending against routine mammograms for women under the age of 50.
The first amendment Harry Reid allowed on the floor this week was brought by Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD). Mikulski’s amendment is intended to increase preventive health services for women at little or no cost to the patients by eliminating or reducing co-payments and other cost sharing.
