4B Daily News – Tuesday, October 1, 2013 WORLD BRIEFING sumers, and most of their concerns don't revolve around ideology and policy details. People want to know if they can afford the premiums, if the coverage will be solid, where the bureaucratic pitfalls are and if new federal and state websites will really demystify shopping for health insurance. Full answers may take months. Expect the rollout to get off to a slow start, with some bumps. People who don't have access to job-based health insurance can start shopping right away for subsidized private policies. Or they can wait to sign up as late as Dec. 15 and still get coverage by Jan. 1. Many will probably want to see how it goes for the first wave of applicants before they jump in. Senate rejects House bill as Republican unity frays WASHINGTON (AP) — Their unity fraying, House Republicans bent but did not blink Monday in their demand for changes in the nation's health care overhaul as the price for preventing the first partial government shutdown in 17 years. ''We're at the brink,'' said Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., moments after the Senate voted 54-46 to reject the latest GOP attempt to tie government financing to delays in ''Obamacare.'' The stock market dropped on fears that political gridlock between the White House and a tea party-heavy Republican party would prevail. As lawmakers squabbled, President Barack Obama urged them to ''act responsibly and do what's right for the American people.'' At the White House, he said he was willing to discuss long-term budget issues with members of Congress, and expected to do soon. But, he added, ''The only way to do that is for everybody to sit down in good faith without threatening to harm women and veterans and children with a government shutdown.'' In a fast-paced series of events, the Senate voted 5446 to reject a House-passed measure that would have kept the government open while delaying implementation of the health care law for a year and permanently repealing a medical device tax that helps finance it.

Now comes the ultimate test: the verdict of the American people. A government shutdown could dampen the rollout Tuesday as insurance markets open around the country.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite soothing assurances from Iran's new leaders, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu implored President Barack Obama on Monday to keep punishing sanctions in place against Tehran — and even tighten them if the Islamic republic advances its nuclear programs while negotiating with the U.S. Netanyahu nevertheless signaled he would not block Obama's efforts to seek a diplomatic resolution to the nuclear impasse, even as he expressed skepticism about the Iranian government ''If diplomacy is to work, those pressures must be kept in place,'' Netanyahu said of the sanctions during an Oval Office meeting with Obama. The two men met three days after Obama's historic phone call with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, which marked the first direct conversation between a U.S. and Iranian leader in more than three decades. While the election of Rouhani, a more moderate-sounding cleric, has been viewed optimistically by the Obama administration, Netanyahu has dismissed the new Iranian leader's outreach as a ''smiley campaign'' aimed at buying Tehran more time to pursue a bomb. Obama, who has long called for a negotiated solution to the Iranian nuclear dispute, said it was important to test the possible diplomatic opening. But he insisted that U.S. officials were ''clear-eyed'' as they enter talks with the Iranians. Call us any time for: Find out how U. S.
