President Barack Obama called the vote "courageous," since no federal legislative body has gotten this far. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, "No longer will being a woman be a pre-existing medical condition" because the bill would end insurance company practices of charging women more for coverage than men. And Senate Republicans were all over the Sunday news shows saying the House bill is dead on arrival in the Senate. Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (10) | Blog

I know it sounds absurd, but in Norway, it’s already happened.
According to this article, the public now has access to almost everyone’s tax records, meaning anyone can find out, for example, that actress Liv Ullmann earned $17,300 in Norway last year, and nine-time New York City Marathon champion Grete Waitz has $90,000 in assets.
