eNews Park Forest
Washington, DC--(ENEWSPF)--May 16, 2012. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced today that Illinois, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee and Washington will receive more than $181 million in grants to help implement the new health care law. The grants will help states establish Affordable Insurance Exchanges. Starting in 2014, Affordable Insurance Exchanges will help consumers and small businesses in every state to choose a private health insurance plan. These comprehensive health plans will ensure consumers have the same kinds of insurance choices as members of Congress. Including today’s awards, 34 states and the District of Columbia have received Establishment grants to fund their progress toward building Exchanges.
HHS also issued two guidance documents today to help states build Affordable Insurance Exchanges.
“States across the country are implementing the new health care law,” said Secretary Sebelius. “In 2014, consumers in every state will have access to a new marketplace where they will be able to easily purchase affordable insurance.”

LifeNews.com
One day after a legislative panel approved a measure to stop abortion funding in its statewide Obamacare health care exchange, pro-life legislators in the state House approved a bill helping to stop abortion-infanticides.
The South Carolina Senate has already approved the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act to protect unborn children who are born alive after a failed abortion but may be purposefully left to die afterwards.

Earlier this year, the South Carolina Senate approved a bill that would make the state the 16th to opt out of covering abortions with taxpayer dollars under the Obamcare health care law that pro-life organizations adamantly opposed because of abortion funding.A subcommittee of the S.C. House Labor, Commerce, and Industry Committee rebuffed pro-abortion groups Tuesday afternoon and passed Senate bill S102 to opt South Carolina out of paying for most abortions if ObamaCare insurance exchanges are implemented in 2014.
Without the Opt Out law in place, government funding would pay for all elective abortions. In 2010, the lasted year for which information is available, there were 6,464 abortions in South Carolina, according to the SC Department of Health and Environment Control.

Egyptians Want to Ditch Peace Treaty With Israel, Poll Shows
CNS News
As Egyptians prepare to vote for their first post-Mubarak president next week, the antipathy towards Israel espoused by the frontrunners aligns with the findings of a new survey, in which 61 percent of Egyptian respondents favor abandoning the Egypt-Israel peace treaty, up from 54 percent a year ago.
The poll, by the Pew Global Attitudes Project, also finds a small decline among Egyptians in favorable views of the United States – now just 19 percent – while 61 percent of respondents said the billions of dollars the U.S. gives their country in military and economic aid has a “mostly negative” impact.

Israel Won’t Be at ‘Biggest Summit in NATO History’
CNS News
NATO’s summit in Chicago this month – the first on U.S. soil in 13 years – will be the biggest in its history, with some 60 countries and organizations represented, but Israel will not be among them, the alliance has confirmed.
Turkey, NATO’s only Muslim member and a country whose government is openly hostile towards Israel, has vetoed Israel’s participation in other NATO activities, but both NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and Obama administration officials insist that Israel was not blocked from the May 20-21 summit.
