And in other news...

There's a headline on Huffington Post right now that reads "White House Orders Insurers to Cover Birth Control with No Copays." Just another one of the small but genuinely important public policy wins that happen every few days because there is a Democrat in the White House and not a Republican. Whatever you think of how Obama's handled the big stuff, the stimulus and health-care reform and the economy and now this debt deal, he's still President, he's still a Democrat, and that means that every once in a while we see a headline telling us that U.S. public policy just got a little bit better in some small but meaningful way.
