Young Adults Want Health Insurance, Don't Feel 'Invincible,' New Obamacare Poll Shows

2013-06-19T04:01:00Z

Young adults overwhelmingly value health insurance and don't believe they are too healthy to need it, according to survey data published Wednesday.

The findings of the poll by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation could have significant implications for the prospects of President Barack Obama's health care reform law.

Enrolling large numbers of younger, healthier people into health insurance is key to keeping premiums affordable for everyone. Moreover, young people are uninsured at higher rates than older people and tend to have lower incomes. But Obamacare skeptics maintain that young people don't obtain health insurance because they don't believe they'll get sick and find themselves with medical bills to pay.

2013-06-19T03:18:38Z

When Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx performed a duet called "(I Wanna) Channing All Over Your Tatum" on Jimmy Kimmel's post-Oscar show back in February, the entire internet was turned on. So, naturally, Kimmel took it upon himself to turn the performance into a fully-produced song and music video, which debuted Tuesday on "Jimmy Kimmel Live: NBA Game Night."

Along for the ride are Olivia Munn, Gabourey Sidibe, Miley Cyrus and a blink-or-you'll-miss-it Matt Damon cameo. Of course, the song wouldn't be complete without Kimmel completely missing the point and singing a bit about his mom that creeps everyone out.

Check out the video above and let us know if you think there's anything Channing Tatum can't do... to you.

House Immigration Bill: Committee Advances Measure Over Democratic Objections

2013-06-19T03:11:34Z

BY DAVID ESPO AND ERICA WERNER, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sweeping immigration legislation moving toward a vote in the Senate would boost the economy and reduce federal deficits, the Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday, at the same time it would bestow legal status on an estimated 8 million immigrants living in the United States unlawfully.

In an assessment that drew cheers from the White House and other backers of the bill, Congress' scorekeeping agency said the measure would reduce federal red ink by $197 billion across a decade, and $700 billion in the following 10 years as increased taxes paid to the government offset the cost of government benefits for newly legal residents.
