What this means is that basketball is, once again, of a piece with the rest of American life, where the showiest get the biggest accolades and where celebrity goes to those who command it -- which is to say that self-celebration is the American way, not only the NBA way.

Why not garnish the future wages of poor children enrolled in Medi-Cal?As for Ratzman's contention that he already paid enough in taxes during his career and shouldn't be double-taxed in death, Rothstein said Medi-Cal doesn't operate as an entitlement the way Medicare does. Rothstein said there are two reasons Ratzman should hold onto his Medi-Cal membership, even though he can't afford the deductibles. One is that Medi-Cal pays his $80 monthly Medicare premium, and the other is that if he ever ends up in a nursing home, Medi-Cal will cover the costs but Medicare won't. Rothstein said it doesn't sound like Ratzman is the kind of person the state will chase beyond the grave. "I don't think this gentleman has anything to worry about," he said. Maybe not, but like I said, Ratzman's confusion is a symptom of a sick healthcare system. With 47 million people uninsured, healthcare lobbyists bankrolling political campaigns and a debate underway over a White House proposal that could reduce the number of poor children with coverage, the obvious fix is ever more clear:A single-payer system that covers everyone, keeps private and public service options in place, streamlines care and gets the profiteering out of medicine.

Campaigns against the earlier measures said such laws could put young women at risk in cases in which a parent had caused the pregnancy or the minor feared physical harm if she told her parents. To address that criticism, the latest proposal was revised to allow the required notification to be made to other adult family members, such as a grandparent or sibling, if the attending physician reports known or suspected child abuse by the parent to law enforcement or a child protective services agency. It also would allow judges to waive the notice requirement based on evidence of the minor's maturity or best interest in having an abortion. A parent also could give a minor a written note ahead of time waiving notification, and waivers would be allowed in medical emergencies. Holman hopes the additions will persuade voters to support the measure this time. But the same groups that fought the earlier propositions also oppose the new one. Among other issues, they say they are concerned that the measure would expose doctors who violate it to significant civil damages because of lawsuits by parents. Crosby, the ACLU attorney, said she believes that provision is part of an effort to put abortion clinics and doctors out of business through litigation. Opponents also say that requiring notification could endanger teenagers by making them wait to seek the procedure until late in their pregnancies .
