Return to Story IndexHEALTH CARE TUES
IT IS MAKE OR BREAK TIME FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA'S HEALTH CARE REFORM PLAN. SOT Obama "We need courage." (Cheers) BARACK OBAMA WAS IN OHIO MONDAY. ONCE AGAIN, HE CITED THE CASE OF NATOMA CANFIELD -- A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR WHO WROTE THE PRESIDENT SHE HAD TO DROP HER HEALTH COVERAGE. SOT Obama "Now, what comes in the mail at the end of last year? (audience members call out: "A bill!" "Rate hike!") It's a letter telling Natoma that her premiums would go up again by more than 40 percent. (Boos) // The status quo on health care is simply unsustainable." IT WILL TAKE 216 VOTES TO PASS THE BILL IN THE HOUSE. FOR DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS CONSIDERED SWING VOTERS, THERE IS NO PLACE TO HIDE SOT Obama "I was talking to Dennis Kucinich on the way over here." THERE ARE THE LIBERALS, LIKE DENNIS KUCINICH, WHO TOLD ABC NEWS JUST LAST WEEK THE PRESIDENT'S PLAN DOESN'T GO FAR ENOUGH. SOT KUCINICH "We have to have a public option." THEN THERE ARE THE CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS WHO BELIEVE THE BILL DOESN'T DO ENOUGH TO RESTRICT ABORTION FUNDING. SOT Obama "I believe we are going to get the votes. We're going to make this happen." HOUSE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS CHAIRMAN JOHN LARSON OF CONNECTICUT AGREED AND PREDICTED A VOTE IS COMING SOON. SOT Rep. JOHN LARSON "I think the votes are there. // Optimistically Thursday, but hopefully Friday." STANDUP WINICK Protesters on both sides of the issue are expected in the corridors of the Capitol today as the clock ticks down to a final vote. TJ Winick, ABC News, Washington.

"CLICK" IS THE NEW "CLIP." THE SIMPLE COUPON IS GETTING MORE SOCIAL, AS A NEW CROP OF WEBSITES AIMS TO SAVE YOU MONEY, HARNESSING THE POWER OF SOCIAL NETWORKING TO DO IT. When you see the deal, in order to get it you have to share it with your friends on Facebook, your friends on Twitter, forward it to people via email. CHICAGO-BASED GROUPON OFFERS LOCALIZED DAILY DEALS, WITH A TWIST. A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PEOPLE NEED TO SIGN UP FOR THE DISCOUNT, OR NOBODY GETS IT, ENCOURAGING CONSUMERS TO SHARE WITH FRIENDS. It gives the merchant what they want, which is a huge number of new customers, and of course the customer gets what they want, which is a really great price on something cool to do. WASHINGTON, D.C.-BASED LIVING SOCIAL WORKS ON A SIMILAR PREMISE, A DAILY, LIMITED-TIME ONLY DISCOUNT IN EACH MARKET. It could be a restaurant, a spa, theatre tickets, something completely wacky like a trapeze school or something along those lines. AND LIKE GROUPON, LIVING SOCIAL HAS EXPANDED ITS ROSTER OF CITIES, FUELED BY THE RECENT RECESSION AND A DEMAND FOR DEALS, LETTING MORE CONSUMERS SHARE THE WEALTH. People are trying to figure out ways to save money. But they don't want to give up the things in their life that are important to them. FOR CONSUMER WATCH, I'M KARIN CAIFA.

Return to Story IndexHEALTH CARE TUES
A VOTE ON THE HISTORIC MEASURE IS EXPECTED BY WEEK'S END, AND THE WHITE HOUSE IS DOING EVERYTHING IT CAN TO ASSURE PASSAGE. IT IS MAKE OR BREAK TIME FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA'S HEALTH CARE REFORM PLAN. SOT Obama "We need courage." (Cheers) BARACK OBAMA WAS IN OHIO MONDAY. ONCE AGAIN, HE CITED THE CASE OF NATOMA CANFIELD -- A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR WHO WROTE THE PRESIDENT SHE HAD TO DROP HER HEALTH COVERAGE. SOT Obama "Now, what comes in the mail at the end of last year? (audience members call out: "A bill!" "Rate hike!") It's a letter telling Natoma that her premiums would go up again by more than 40 percent. (Boos) // The status quo on health care is simply unsustainable." IT WILL TAKE 216 VOTES TO PASS THE BILL IN THE HOUSE. FOR DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS CONSIDERED SWING VOTERS, THERE IS NO PLACE TO HIDE SOT Obama "I was talking to Dennis Kucinich on the way over here." THERE ARE THE LIBERALS, LIKE DENNIS KUCINICH, WHO TOLD ABC NEWS JUST LAST WEEK THE PRESIDENT'S PLAN DOESN'T GO FAR ENOUGH. SOT KUCINICH "We have to have a public option." THEN THERE ARE THE CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS WHO BELIEVE THE BILL DOESN'T DO ENOUGH TO RESTRICT ABORTION FUNDING. SOT Obama "I believe we are going to get the votes. We're going to make this happen." HOUSE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS CHAIRMAN JOHN LARSON OF CONNECTICUT AGREED AND PREDICTED A VOTE IS COMING SOON. SOT Rep. JOHN LARSON "I think the votes are there. // Optimistically Thursday, but hopefully Friday." STANDUP WINICK Protesters on both sides of the issue are expected in the corridors of the Capitol today as the clock ticks down to a final vote. TJ Winick, ABC News, Washington.

ANGIE COOPER SAYS SATURDAY'S STORM HAS CHANGED HER LIFE FOREVER. SHE, ALONG WITH HER HUSBAND AND THREE KIDS WERE LIVING IN THE BASEMENT OF HER PARENTS' HOME IN PRATT. SEWAGE BACKED UP INTO THEIR HOME... AND WATER FROM PAINT CREEK CAME POURING IN... RUINING EVERYTHING. ""A 36:46 'IT'S AWFUL I MEAN THERES NOTHING WE CAN DO....I MEAN OUR KIDS ARE DEVASTATED...EVERYTHING WE GOT IS GONE.""" THE PROBLEM WASN'T THE ONE AND HALF INCHES OF RAIN THAT FELL IN KANAWHA COUNTY... THE PROBLEM WAS THE SATURATED GROUND...AND THE KANAWHA RIVER WAS ALREADY CLOSE TO FLOOD STAGE. THE COMBINATION CAUSED PAINT CREEK TO BACK UP INTO THEIR YARD AND CAUSED THE DAMAGE.

Return to Story IndexWEST SIDE SCHOOL
THE KANAWHA COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD AND CITY OF CHARLESTON ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO MAKE THE PROJECT HAPPEN -- BY TRYING TO SWAP LAND. SCHOOL OFFICIALS WANT TO SWAP THE SITE OF THE CURRENT GLENWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR PART OF CATO PARK. RIGHT NOW BOTH SIDES ARE WORKING TOGETHER ON FEDERAL PAPERWORK -- BECAUSE CATO PARK IS FUNDED BY GOVERNMENT MONEY. THE KANAWHA COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD WILL GO IN FRONT OF THE S-B-A LATER THIS MONTH TO REQUEST FUNDING -- BUT IT WILL LIKELY BE SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE THE LAND SWAP COULD BE APPROVED.
