Where is it? Pretty much in the middle of the former French Concession, opposite Hengshan Road metro station and – as might be surmised – at No 12 Hengshan Lu. The area remains at a happy remove from the tourist jostle of the Bund and the high-rise forest of Pudong, and is about 45 minutes' drive from the Shanghai Pudong International Airport. At first blush, the exterior (right) might call to mind George Orwell's Ministry of Truth but – just as you're not supposed to be judgmental about books' covers – that's no reflection on the interiors, which are flooded with light and good cheer. The oval-ish hotel is set around an interior garden (top) while the roof has been known to host a party or two, and Tops & Terrace is an enticing top-floor semi-alfresco chill-out zone with vistas over the neighbourhood's red-tiled roofs. Shanghai's got smart hotels like other cities have convenience stores; to continue the analogy, think of "12@HS [1]" as an intelligently stocked delicatessen.
Fine, but what's inside? Starting in the basement may seem unusual, but it's a fabulously irresistible marine grotto that's largely illuminated by skylights. The swimming pool (right) stretches 25 metres and is flanked by a waterfall, loungers, whirlpools and a shallow pool. The fitness centre (open 24/7) is packed with machinery seemingly designed by a 21st-century Heath Robinson – he of eccentric designs – while the spa puts the "amp" in pampering with an extensive treatment menu. The central garden is ringed by an arcade – the high-fashion Salon is apparently a must-stop-shop for Shanghai celebs. And wherever guests may rank on the rich-and-famous lists, nobody checks in at reception: the paperwork, if that's the right expression in the Age of iPad, is done in-room.
Tell us about those rooms. If your budget doesn't quite stretch to the Presidential Suite, there are 27 other themed suites and 143 regular rooms. The decor is very much a marriage of Asian style and hi-tech, so the delicate floral screens on the walls face off with complimentary Wi-fi, an iPod dock, a mammoth television screen and a Japanese loo that does everything except sing karaoke. A roomy bathtub, separate shower and yards of marble complete the ablutionary ensemble. With rooms starting at 40 square metres, there's little in the way of clutter, so the overall feel is both comfortable and functional. Nobody has yet to object to the free beer and soft drinks that populate the fridge.
What's the food like? In a word, smashing. While 12 Hengshan may not be the most imaginative name, this Chinese restaurant is otherwise inspirational. The cuisine is essentially Shanghainese with more than a nod to Cantonese, while porcelain chandeliers and eight private rooms add a fair dollop of exclusivity. Tops & Terrace is open all day and tends to get packed for the Saturday European barbecue (weather permitting) and Sunday's seafood and bubbles brunch. Pick up a picnic from The Corner if you're heading out (umpteen varieties of cheesecake); and while this may not exactly fall under the food category, cigar aficionados also get a dedicated lounge.
We're refreshed and replete; what's next? While billing Hengshan Lu as Shanghai's Champs-Élysées might be a press release too far, it's certainly one of the most charismatic strips in the city. Both sides of the road just by 12@HS [1] are dotted with bars, clubs, coffee shops and boutiques. The concierge can lay on walking tours for guests unwilling to place too much faith in Google Maps and motorbike excursions for those unwilling (or too lazy) to hoof it. And while the metro is not exactly a transport of delight, it does thread its way all over Shanghai; furthermore its bilingual signage trumps the cantankerous monoglots found behind the wheel of nearly every taxi in the city.
What's the bottom line? Rooms start from 1,800 yuan (HK$2,250) plus 15 per cent, while the upper tiers are priced at 28,000 yuan. For details, visit www.theluxurycollection.com/12hengshan [2].

Jill Etesse was hooked on the "Twilight" books the second she cracked the series opener. She ripped through the saga on paper and rented movie No. 1.
Then the madness began.
"I joined the lines of teens for `New Moon,'" said the 38-year-old mom of two. "My husband is deathly embarrassed. Half my friends think I'm crazy."
Etesse, from Leesburg, Va., won't let her 8-year-old daughter anywhere near Team Edward OR Team Jacob, but did she take herself to "Eclipse" this summer? "Oh yeah."
Is there something, um, icky about moms lusting after the boys of "Twilight" or other morsels of ripe screen candy? Heck no, said 54-year-old Toni Downey of Limerick, Pa. We're not dead yet!
Downey's more into Matt Bomer, 32, of TV's "White Collar" at the moment, but "I've had impure thoughts about barely legal boys as well." Strictly the celebrity look-don't-touch variety, she notes.
Eighteen-year-old Taylor Lautner's six-pack? "Mind-boggling," said Downey, who has a 25-year-old daughter. "She likes Buffy as her only vamp thing, and we both thought Pattinson was hotter as a blond in Harry Potter."
Into the light they've come, publicly declaring their sometimes puzzled joy, juggling movie schedules with diaper changes, kid lunches and soccer practices. They're definitely looking forward with younger fans to the last two "Twilight" movies starting next year, and they're scooping up all sorts of reads intended for the young.
"I have no idea why it's so appealing to me," Etesse said of her "Twilight" jones. "I'm married to a tall, dark and handsome French-Irish guy, but those abs, you know. I'd trade a pair of my Jimmy C's for my husband to have those."
In June, 30-year-old mom Christina Fiedler was undaunted by a tent city of young people on her way in to a special screening of "Eclipse" at a Los Angeles theater. She's not all that much older than 24-year-old Robert Pattinson and his mid-20s Cullen kin, played by Kellan Lutz and Jackson Rathbone, but her mom status makes her feel light years their senior, especially since they're all supposed to be teens on screen.
"What an odd experience to be an adult woman in a theater full of screaming tweens," said Fiedler, who has a 2-year-old son and has blogged about her "Twilight" habit at Mom Logic. "I didn't go with my Team Jacob or Team Edward shirt like some of the women my age did. There were quite a few of them. I didn't talk back to the screen like they did."
Is there an age cutoff of appropriateness? A mom code when it comes to ogling young hunks?
Single mom Victoria Martinez, 37, in Hemet, Calif., said yes. She has three boys of her own, ages 15, 14 and 11, and won't let her mind wander to jail bait. The Cullen clan may be playing teens, but they're way legal in life so it's full steam ahead.
"I don't have a husband or even a significant other to worry about when it comes to my man candy crushes," she said, adding that she's a bit of a cougar on the ground. "Taylor Lautner isn't on my list because he's only 18 and I still think of him as Shark Boy."
Martinez first heard of the Twilight saga when she learned the bedroom-eyed Pattinson was cast as Edward. "He's the reason I read the books. There's just something irresistible about him. I'll continue to lust over and enjoy them on the big screen long after the teens move on to the next big thing."
She has others, not just the Twilight crew. There's Jake Gyllenhaal, who at 29 was "a nice piece of summer eye candy" in "Prince of Persia." Downey especially liked the Entertainment Weekly spread featuring Bomer pouring a jug of water over his head, nicely soaking his white T-shirt.
"And he and his character have a pinch of naughty in the devastating smile," she said.
With an upswing in grown-ups (yes, women) embracing books intended for teens, are moms thinking younger, or at least enjoying the freedom to express their still-young sides in ways June Cleaver was denied?
Fiedler's Team Edward, though considers him bad boyfriend material for his younger fans. He encourages Bella to keep secrets from her family and ditch her old friends. He needs anger management counseling and the two are never happy. Besides, his family finds her "irresistible." You be the judge.
"It's not so much as a 'lust' thing as it is escaping from a hectic daily life and into their frivolous ones," she said. "It's this generation's Romeo and Juliet _ forbidden love."

Arizona Cardinals
PFT: All signs point to free agent tackle Albert signing with Dolphins
The Arizona Cardinals have long been considered one of two main contenders for the services of free agent left tackle Branden Albert.
But according to ProFootballTalk.com, they may soon be out of the race.
The website reported Sunday that all signs point toward Albert signing with the Miami Dolphins shortly after free agents can sign contracts on Tuesday. Teams were allowed to enter negotiations with free agents this weekend.
The Dolphins nearly traded for Albert last year, according to PFT, before the tackle entered his final season with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Albert has been one of the Cardinals' top targets this season, if not their No. 1 target. Arizona defensive lineman Darnell Dockett tweeted last week that Albert was his "new teammate," though Dockett has a long history of odd tweets.

Proceedings of the Provincial Court, 1666-1670
The casual mention in the Maryland records of this period of a number of men who were styled physicians or chirurgeons does not necessarily imply that many of them had had a real professional training. In addition to Morecroft, Tilghman, Champ, and Stansby already mentioned, we find mention of a number of others. In 1666 John Peerce was called "Chirurgeon of the good ship called the Adventure of Hull" England, and a few years later is mentioned as of Talbot County, and is styled either "Dr." or "Chirurgeon" (pp. 84-85, 374, 552).

LG has announced several new Ultrabooks labelled under the Gram series. They are going for a very lightweight and portable design, hence the name. There will be two models, with a 13.3-inch and 14-inch available starting today. Both models feature a 1920x1080 IPS display, and weigh in at just 980 grams for either model, so there is no weight penalty going with the larger device. They are just 0.5" or 12.5mm thick, so they should have no issues with portability. The chassis are made out of carbon-lithium and carbon-magnesium which should result in a pretty strong frame despite the light weight and thin dimensions. LG has also managed to go with a minimal bezel of just 7.2mm on the sides, much like the Dell XPS...

If you've been reading or listening to the news, you cannot help but feel that eerie pit in your stomach as you absorb the cloud of economic gloom. But is this doom really true for every industry? Forecasting the economic future for Canada is a challenge and may take some time to clearly define just how dismal it will be.
However, investment and developing in the self-storage industry may be another consideration entirely. While the country's economy as a whole may thrive on the consumer's ability and desire to buy, the storage industry is an all-weather profit center that has proven to do fairly well during difficult times.
This business is somewhat insulated from financial woes as an integral service to companies or people who are downsizing or experiencing some type of transition. Therefore, the demand for storage is likely to increase through a tough economic period. This could subsequently increase new self-storage construction and momentum for facilities across the country.
A Good Time for Investment
There are numerous reasons why this economy can be favorable for self-storage development in Canada. Just look at the way developers are pulling back from retail, home and industrial developments that require the consumer engine to be running at full strength. These developers are not going dormant; they're seeking to refocus on other avenues to generate income. Self-storage provides new opportunities for investment.
In addition, there is an increase in availability of skilled tradesmen from other slowing industries, so the cost of labor is lower. Self-storage construction methods have also become more cost-effective. Although the popularity of multi-story structures has ebbed due to the challenge of finding suitable land, we are now seeing conversions of existing industrial or warehouse buildings in prime municipal locations.

As the weeks go by, we continue to learn more about the next major Windows release, Windows 8. We know, for example, that Windows 8 will integrate Xbox Live support , and that the new Start screen will look a lot like Windows Phone Live Tiles. It will run on regular desktops and tablets, and there will be versions for ARM processors. But one thing we don't know is exactly when it will ship. That's okay, because Microsoft Corporate VP Dan'l Lewin implied you can figure out if you do the math.
Speaking at the start-up LAUNCH event at the Microsoft Silicon Valley campus, TechRadar quotes Lewin as saying "if you look at the cyrstal ball and just say what happened in the past is a reasonable indicator of what our forward looking timelines will be and just speculate -- we've made the point about having a developer conference later this year, and then typically we enter a beta phase, and then in 12 months we're in the market, so let's make that assumption."
This year's Professional Developers Conference (now called Build) is scheduled to take place September 13. If the first Windows 8 beta follows not long after, you can expect the final version to ship in autumn 2012, based on the hints Lewin dropped.
Lewin's implied release date jibes with comments made by Windows President Steven Sinofsky, who said that releasing a new version of Windows "every two or three years is good," according to CNet . Microsoft launched Windows 7 in October 2009, and since it doesn't appear Windows 8 will be ready this fall, that makes an autumn 2012 release date seem all the more likely.

Motorworld (eBook)Jeremy Clarkson
Jeremy Clarkson invites us to Motorworld, his take on different cultures and the cars that they drive.
There are ways and means of getting about that don't involve four wheels, but in this slice of vintage Clarkson, Jeremy isn't much interested in them.
Back in 1996, he took himself off to twelve countries (okay, eleven - he goes to America twice) in search of the hows, whys and wherefores of different nationalities and their relationships with cars. There were a few questions he needed answers to:
. Why, for instance, is it that Italians are more interested in looking good than looking where they are going?
. Why do Indians crash a lot?
. How can an Arab describe himself as 'not a rich man' with four of the world's most expensive cars in his drive?
. And why have the otherwise neutral Swiss declared war on the car?
From Cuba to Iceland, Australia to Vietnam, Japan to Texas, Jeremy Clarkson tells us of his adventures on and off four wheels as he seeks to discover just what it is that makes our motorworld tick over.
Praise for Jeremy Clarkson:
'Brilliant . . . laugh-out-loud' Daily Telegraph
'Outrageously funny . . . will have you in stitches' Time Out
Number-one bestseller Jeremy Clarkson writes on cars, current affairs and anything else that annoys him in his sharp and funny collections. Born To Be Riled, Clarkson On Cars, Don't Stop Me Now, Driven To Distraction, Round the Bend and I Know You Got Soul are also available as Penguin paperbacks; the Penguin App iClarkson: The Book of Cars can be downloaded on the App Store.
Jeremy Clarkson because his writing career on the Rotherham Advertiser. Since then he has written for the Sun and the Sunday Times. Today he is the tallest person working in British television, and is the presenter of the hugely popular Top Gear.

Free Shipping Day aims to boost online shopping

Fire up those computers and flex those clicking fingers Canada — it's Free Shipping Day.
As American shopping incentives like Black Friday and Cyber Monday see increased success in Canada, today's retail event is yet another attempt to entice Canucks to spend.
The one-day online campaign — which has been running south of the border for five years — is being offered for the second year in Canada and has nearly 250 merchants offering free shipping with delivery guaranteed by Christmas Eve.
The lure of free shipping could prove to be a strong one today as high or hidden delivery costs can often be a deterring factor for Canadians shopping online.
"It's actually more about the delivery promise than it is about the free shipping. But it is the free shipping that grabs people," said Regina native Luke Knowles, who created the campaign. "Shoppers can save lots of money."
Knowles said the idea for the event first launched in the U.S. in 2008 grew from the idea that many customers stopped online shopping after the first two weeks of December for fear their items wouldn't arrive in time to be given as gifts.
"We decide to change the shoppers' behaviour on that so we combined free shipping with delivery by Christmas Eve," he said.
Retailers taking part in today's event are listed at www.freeshippingday.ca and range from big brands like The Bay, Sears, Best Buy and Peoples Jewellers to smaller boutiques. Corresponding coupon codes required for some merchants are also listed on the site.
While some merchants will require a minimum purchase amount for the free shipping to apply, Knowles said such conditions are discouraged and, at last count, 58 per cent of participating retailers were offering free delivery for all orders.
The event is much bigger in the U.S., where 2,600 stores participated last year. According to Knowles, the American version of Free Shipping Day saw about a billion dollars in sales in the U.S. in 2011 and ranks among the top five shopping days of the year.
"It's very well received and we expect in the next couple of years for it to take off like that in Canada as well," he said.
Last year's inaugural Canadian campaign saw about 150 retailers participate and seemed to be well received, Knowles said.
"The results were actually quite phenomenal to us," he said. "The retailers loved it, they received lots of traffic, they made lots of sales."
If the Canadian response to Black Friday and Cyber Monday this year is any indication, today's event could gain traction among Canucks. According to data from debit and credit card processor Moneris Solutions, Canadian spending grew 23 per cent on Cyber Monday and 6.5 per cent on Black Friday this year over last.
For years, both events were largely American campaigns that had Canadians who wanted to participate visiting U.S. websites or crossing the border on the day after U.S. Thanksgiving, which marks the start of the crucial holiday shopping season when retailers turn profits, or go "into the black."
Cyber Monday emerged as shoppers wanting to continue their Black Friday spree logged-in at home, as well as at work on the following Monday.
A combination of factors — Canadian retailers trying to keep sales local, U.S. competitors setting up shop in Canada, shifting shopping habits and tight-fisted consumers — are helping to establish the events on Canadian soil.
While the success of today's event remains to be seen, at least one online retail trend observer said an increasing number of Canadians appear to be doing more of their shopping online.
"I think people are becoming more comfortable with online buying," said Steve Tissenbaum, an instructor with the Ted Rogers School of Retail Management at Toronto's Ryerson University.
"Online has been dedicated for research prior to this year, but now suddenly there's a spike and people feel confident that it's a safer environment and they can shop around for different prices."
According to Tissenbaum, merchants have competed to offer free shipping of some sort for the past few years, but the new battle for online retail dollars is being fought over price matching.
"The consumer almost expects free shipping now with spending a certain amount of money," he said.
While anyone can take advantage of the free shipping offers, the Christmas Eve delivery guarantee does not extend to those living in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and the Yukon.

If she were a Democrat... the media would be bending over backwards to defend her and call all of her political opponents "sexist."
"Jesus was a community organizer..."
It's funny, all the things he's making fun of her for in the article are all things the Democrats and the media have already lobbed at her (maybe excepting the NASCAR/hockey thing).
So basically the cartoonist is just saying that Republicans would be making the same accusations towards her that the liberals already are? I don't really get the satire here, then. Is he criticizing the Republicans here or is he criticizing the attacks the Democrats have leveled at her?
He's unwittingly parodying the whole political process.
Yep...the repubs would be doing the same thing the dems would be doing.
Heck both parties have proved they will use the same exact arguments for or against depending on who they are going after or defending.
Remember Bill Clinton the republicans said that you can support the troops without supporting the President and the Dems said oh no you can't.
Years later the Dems say you can support the troops without supporting the President...the repubs say oh no you can't.
Same thing, just switched around.
Two party system sucks and what sucks more is how many eat that dog crap up.

Dear Gossips,
I had three text threads going last night about Justin Bieber's dick. And on top of that Jacek and I were discussing whether or not he boosted it before those shots were taken. But let's not rush. We'll ease our way onto (the subject of) JB's penis later this morning.
For now, we're starting with Beyonce. Last year, it was announced that B was collaborating with Topshop on a line of athleisure wear. It was supposed to come out this fall. A couple of months ago there were rumours that the launch would be pushed back to next year. Yesterday, it was reported that Beyonce, Jay Z, Rihanna, Kanye West, and Pharrell had filed a joint complaint against French clothing company ElevenParis for using their likenesses and slogans etc without permission. Seems pretty straightforward. What's weird though is that according to the complaint, Beyonce is accusing ElevenParis of breaching the "terms and conditions" of a secret deal that she made with them in January "by selling unlicensed merchandise". And Solange fronted a campaign for ElevenParis right around that time. Secret deals… Solange...
Coincidence or conspiracy? My eye is twitching, is yours?
Click here for more information about the complaint (thanks Rae!)

What Taylor learned
NIGNY/ Splash News
Taylor Swift was photographed in New York last night leaving a recording studio. It's been almost a year since the release of 1989. So even though you've been hearing about, it seems, forever, 1989 the full album wasn't actually eligible for the Grammys last year. It could contend in all those coveted categories this year though.

Justin Bieber's penis takes over the internet
Elite Entertainment/ KAT/ Splash News
Hockey season started yesterday. And the MLB playoffs are underway. But it was Justin Bieber's dick that dominated the discussion on Wednesday. At least it did on the internet, where I live.

Daniel Craig isn't that grumpy
Daniel Craig's new interview with Time Out London is being excerpted all over the place. He says he'd rather "slash my wrists" than do another Bond movie. And that he doesn't "give a f-ck" who gets cast to play Bond next. When I first read these quotes, I was like, Jesus Christ, what happened to his happiness? He's actually not that crusty though.

We stayed at the Dunn Street Inn in the beginning of August.
We got more than what we hoped for; close walking proximity to the falls, nice room, and very welcoming owners of the Inn!
I just browsed through my bookmarks on my computer, and realized that I never left a well deserved review.
Thanks again, we will definitely be back!

This was our first stay in a B&B and won't be our last. Mike was a gracious host accommodating our late arrival (8 pm). There were numerous items to choose from for breakfast including pancakes, omelettes and eggs with bacon all prepared by Mike's mother, Martha.
The room was nice size with a large closet and an attached bathroom. Everything was very nice and clean.
The B&B is about 3/4 mile from the bustling Niagara Falls, an easy walk. We parked our car and left it for the entire time we were there. We walked in the morning and later in the evening (10 pm) no problems at all.
Mike is very knowledgeable of the area and provides lots of information including discount passes to the local wineries, maps and brochures.
This B&B has been in business for 10 years and we wish them many, many more.

Planet Beach Contempo Spa Fort WorthRead MoreA wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas—its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries—Planet Beach is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray tan skin, and massage muscles. Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.1200 WatersEdge DrGranbury, TX US

In his talk March 24, Chagnon will address the controversy over who — anthropologists, missionaries or government agencies, among others — has the right to represent the Yanomamo's interests to the outside world. The problem has intensified, Chagnon says, because the Yanomamo are now among the best- known ancient cultures in the world. The invasion of Yanomamo territory by Brazilian miners in 1987 focused attention on the issue. Chagnon himself has been assailed by all sides because of his refusal to endorse any of them.

Why is my ex boyfriend being so rude to me?
What Guys Said
he doesn't like you. let it go
I don't know why he wouldn`t like me. I was always nice to him
It's most likely not you. its him. some people just don't like other people, no matter how nice they are. also, he left you for someone else which doesn't show you a lot of respect.
any person who plays head games isn't worth your time.
it would be best just to let him go.
Yea I took your word on that one. I deleted him from MySpace. he left our picture up on us even tho he hasn`t been on there in awhile. it`s not nice to toy with someone heart.

It is pet friendly
the noise upstairs and the street, curtains are scarves nailed up, not a table or end table yet there is a kitchen which is from the 70's. I will never stay here again there was so much noise all night people stomping feet above bed errrr
You could really hear the people in the above room...not much sound insulation... for example we could hear their coffee maker percolate their coffee in the morning...
Bed was comfy. Nice location
Very rundown. Had to walk through the lobby and out a side door to access the courtyard, which was the only way to the room. No way to get to your car directly from the room. The restaurant attached is also accessed through the lobby and extends into the courtyard. It shuts early and becomes a pub. When combined with the liquor store (also attached) it led to loud, albeit polite, drunk people everywhere. Staff on the front desk were more than useless and moved like sloths. Also, not related to the hotel, but if you have a late check in, the closest food is Armstrong.
The food was very very good. The chef was able to take time to come talk with us. The pool and grounds were very nice and relaxing.
We were not able to open our window due to traffic noise. The carpet was VERY dirty.
The suite was really nice - dunno about the rooms but the suite was great ! The free breakfast was really good too ..... I'd stay there again in a heartbeat .......
The room was comfortable and we got a good nights sleep. I was surprised at the older box TV but it worked just fine. I haven't seen one of those in hotels in the past few years.
Breakfast was nice, hotel was quiet at night.
A microwave in the room would have been nice. Also a few tea bags would have been welcome.
The boxy rooms seamed a little on the economical side.
Need a little bigger bath room
Loved the look of the public spaces. The Cafe was fantastic too.
The food in the pub was just ok. The price of the room also felt a bit expensive for what was a nice, but simply average room.
Very quiet and comfortable. Friendly staff.
Very friendly and helpful staff, who took good care of us.
Close to main road and easy to find. Close to town as well.
Did not know it was a smoking room. We are non smokers and did not sleep well.
Clean and quaint and dog friendly
A bit noisy a night when the semis rolled by
It was clean and neat and close to everything.
We found out that they are closing the restaurant.

Christmas Brunch
From glazed cinnamon rolls to a cheesy bacon and onion quiche, here are fantastic Christmas brunch recipes.
Bacon, Cheddar and Onion Quiche
More ∨
"To make a proper tarte flambé, you need a wood-burning oven with a stone floor," explains Jean-Georges Vongerichten of the thin-crusted Alsatian pizza topped with bacon, onions and fromage blanc. Here, he folds those same basic ingredients (replacing the fromage blanc with cheddar) into a light custard and bakes it in a buttery pastry crust. "Not everyone has a pizza oven at home, so I decided to make it in the form of a quiche."

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
A release and a blog post from the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") on Friday announced that starting in 2015, health insurance companies will be required to offer coverage to same-sex spouses if they offer coverage for opposite-sex spouses. The release, in the form of Frequently Asked Questions ("FAQs"), clarified certain regulations implementing the Affordable Care Act ("ACA"). The blog post, from Dr. Matthew Heinz, HHS Director of Provider & LGBT Outreach, lauded the clarification as "one more step toward making health care coverage more accessible and equitable for married same-sex couples."
How will the regulations work in practice? According to the FAQs, the regulations implementing the ACA establish nondiscrimination standards. Specifically, 45 CFR § 147.104(e) provides that health insurance companies cannot engage in practices that discriminate on the basis of certain characteristics, like sexual orientation. The FAQs state that a health insurance company engages in discriminatory practices if it offers coverage of an opposite-sex spouse and chooses not to offer coverage of a same-sex spouse under the same terms and conditions. The insurance company cannot discriminate regardless of where the health insurance policy is "offered, sold, issued, renewed, in effect, or operated, or where the policy holder resides." It should be noted that this nondiscrimination policy only applies where the same-sex couple's marriage was validly entered into in a jurisdiction that allows same-sex marriage.
The clarification of the regulations comes as part of a succession of announcements from the Obama administration focusing on health insurance coverage under the ACA. The administration has also recently extended for another month the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (coverage temporarily available during the transition to the health insurance exchanges for those with pre-existing conditions). Additionally, the administration announced that health insurance companies offering health plans under the ACA must accept premium payments from the government in connection with low-income AIDS patient enrollees. According to Dr. Heinz, the expansion of coverage to same-sex couples "will further enhance access to health care for all Americans."
The Health Law Gurus™ will continue to follow the implementation of the ACA.
