WASHINGTON (AP) — It's one of Medicaid's challenges. While low-income people are more likely to struggle with health problems such as smoking and depression, new research shows many are motivated to improve. Thursday's study from the Gallup-Sharecare Well-Being Index found that 40 percent of people on Medicaid say they're in fair or poor health, compared with 11 percent of those with workplace coverage. The analysis for The Associated Press also showed that Medicaid recipients are invested in their health... Читать дальше...

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — A white former South Carolina officer was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Thursday for fatally shooting an unarmed black motorist in the back in 2015, wrapping up a case that became a rallying cry for the Black Lives Matter movement. Attorneys for ex-North Charleston Officer Michael Slager said he shot 50-year-old Walter Scott in self-defense after the two fought and Scott grabbed Slager's stun gun.

Peter Phillips sits down and asks Chris Hurst for his thoughts on the Merseyside Derby. Chris, are you confident that after 2 wins on the spin for Everton that Liverpool can get the result on Sunday? Derbies are always tough games and I always think form goes out the window, 2 wins will be a boost for them but with all due respect the teams they played were hardly world beaters, but I think none of their fans will see it that way given their current form, I’m sure we will bring them back down to earth on Sunday.

DOVER, Del. (AP) — A former Delaware charter school leader has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after pleading guilty to federal program theft. The prison term imposed Wednesday on Sean Moore matched the recommendation of prosecutors.

Authorities say Moore, who embezzled more than $160,000 in funds belonging to the school, was motivated by self-interest and greed. Читать дальше...
There’s a 2004 episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm in which Larry David picks up a prostitute so he can use the HOV lane to get to a Dodgers game. The episode later became important when its footage of the game confirmed the alibi of a man facing the death penalty on a murder charge.
