But what the architects of @placeholder apparently failed to take into account is that many young people are also eligible for Medicaid and will enroll in that government program instead, in the 25 states that have agreed to expand Medicaid. | (CNN) -- Obamacare is dying. The latest wound is largely self-inflicted. Medicaid and the new Obamacare exchanges are competing for the same young and healthy customers that Obamacare needs to survive -- and Medicaid's winning. President Obama and the entire Democratic Party have nobody else but themselves to blame. In its hubris, the Democratic Party members assured the country again and again in 2009 and 2010 that it knew enough to be able to forcibly reorganize one-sixth of the American economy without causing millions to lose their current health insurance coverage, without triggering skyrocketing costs and without causing a host of terrible unintended consequences.

Bolt, who at 26 is in his prime, can't say if he'll try for a third @placeholder. | London (CNN) -- Channeling his best Muhammad Ali, Usain Bolt showed his greatness Thursday on the track then made sure everyone was clear on the brilliance they had just witnessed. "I have done something that no one else has done before," the Jamaican superstar declared after winning the 200 meters to complete a sweep of the showcase sprints -- the 100 and 200 meters -- for the second consecutive Games. "I am the greatest," he said. And Bolt has one more race, and the opportunity to become the first man to win a double-triple -- if Jamaica can win the 4x100 relay as it did in Beijing.

Hilburn, of Patterson, California, has been living in central Mexico, where he teaches at a small bilingual Christian school in Guadalajara. The areas visited by Hilburn and his girlfriend, Jensine Pulford, were far removed from the violence making headlines along the U.S. border. "Even on the highways and among the large crowds of Independence Day celebrators we felt extremely safe," Hilburn said.

In this grudging half-apology, half-justification, @placeholder misstated the facts of the case. | Of all the speeches at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, few offended conservative listeners more than the speech by Sandra Fluke.

But the country's forensics service said there was no way to determine the cause of death of Yoo, 73, because of the decomposed state of the body. Officials said that fingerprint, dental and DNA evidence confirmed his identity. According to various tests conducted, Yoo was not poisoned or suffocated. They found no trace of poison or alcohol, said Lee Han-Young, head of the Central Legal Medical Center. There were no signs of external force that may have caused death, he added.

The items in her collection rocketed far beyond their original estimates. For example, the 50-carat pearl known as La Peregrina, given to her in 1969 by actor Richard Burton and once part of the crown jewels of Spain, went for $11.8 million, which Christie's said was the highest recorded price ever of pearl jewelry sold at auction.

It happened here in sunlit Monaco, when Lewis Hamilton appeared to threaten to drive his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg off the track as revenge for the controversial manner in which the German took pole position. The drama started as Rosberg, who already held the fastest time, pushed hard in his final qualifying lap. Braking from 160mph into the right-hander Mirabeau, he lost control. Rather than taking the corner, he steered his car unscathed into a small run-off area on the left. Behind him, Hamilton was eating up the tarmac. He was on target to snatch pole position from Rosberg. But as he arrived at Mirabeau, Rosberg was reversing on to the track. Yellow caution flags were waved and Hamilton had to abort his attempt.

TB patient Andrew Speaker set off an international health scare when he traveled to Europe for his wedding in May. Canadian Press reported the suit, filed in Quebec Superior Court, seeks $1.3 million (Canadian $1.4 million) in damages.

@placeholder recently pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter and was to be sentenced January 25, authorities said. | NEW YORK (CNN) -- The second of two men who last month pulled off a daring escape from a county jail in New Jersey was taken into custody Wednesday, authorities told CNN. Otis Blunt, 32, was arrested in Mexico City, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. He will be transported back to the United States as soon as possible, probably within 24 hours, authorities said. Mexico has no extradition proceedings. On Tuesday, local and federal authorities captured Jose Espinosa, 20, who broke out of Union County Jail on December 15 along with Blunt. Espinosa and Blunt escaped by digging a hole through the cinder block wall of their adjoining cells, and hid the hole by using posters of bikini-clad women.

Initial reports had not revealed the extent of @placeholder involvement. | (CNN) -- The agent who penetrated al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and returned from Yemen with the group's new "airline bomb" was always under Saudi control and was not a double-agent, two sources briefed by Saudi counterterrorism officials have told CNN. One source told CNN that the device was recovered around April 20, more than a week before the first anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden, and was then handed over to the United States for forensic analysis. One source said that from the very beginning, the infiltrator was working for Saudi intelligence. The other said Saudi intelligence was involved "from A to Z." The source added that the agent involved had moved in the "jihadist orbit" in Saudi Arabia before being recruited.

Police have still not formally named El-Hussein as the suspect in the shootings at a Copenhagen cafe and outside a synagogue.
