Study: ‘Medicare for all’ projected to cost $32.6 trillion WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare for all” plan would increase government health care spending by $32.6 trillion over 10 years, according to a study by a university-based libertarian policy center. That’s trillion with a “T.” The latest plan from the Vermont independent would require historic tax increases as government replaces what employers and con- sumers now pay for health care, according to the analysis being released Monday by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University in Virginia. It would deliver significant savings on administration and drug costs, but increased demand for care would drive up spending, the analysis found. Sanders’ plan builds on Medicare, the popular insurance program for seniors. All U.S. residents would be covered with no copays and The Westfield News deductibles for medical services. The insurance industry would be relegated to a minor role. A publication of the Westfield News Group LLC “Enacting something like ‘Medicare for all’ would be a transformative change in the size of the federal government,” said Charles Blahous, the study’s author. Blahous was a senior economic adviser to former President George W. Bush and a public trustee of Social Flora Masciadrelli James Johnson-Corwin Security and Medicare during the Obama administration. Director of Sales/ Multi-Media Manager Responding to the study, Sanders took aim at the Mercatus Center, which receives funding from the conservative Koch brothers. Koch Classified Manager Industries CEO Charles Koch is on the center’s board. Marie Brazee “If every major country on earth can guarantee health care to all, and achieve better health outcomes, while spending substantially less Chris Putz Business Manager Sports Editor per capita than we do, it is absurd for anyone to suggest that the United States cannot do the same,” Sanders said in a statement. “This Lorie Perry grossly misleading and biased report is the Koch brothers response to the growing support in our country for a ‘Medicare for all’ pro- Director of Ad Production gram.” Sanders’ office has not done a cost analysis, a spokesman said. However, the Mercatus estimates are within the range of other cost Patrick R. Berry projections for Sanders’ 2016 plan. President Sanders’ staff found an error in an initial version of the Mercatus report, which counted a long-term care program that was in the 2016 proposal but not the current one. Blahous corrected it, reducing his estimate by about $3 trillion over 10 years. Blahous says the report 62 School Street, Westfield , MA 01085 is his own work, not the Koch brothers’. Also called “single-payer” over the years, “Medicare for all” reflects a long-time wish among liberals for a government-run system (413)562-4181 that covers all Americans. www.thewestfieldnews.com The idea won broad rank-and-file support after Sanders ran on it in the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries. Looking ahead to the 2020 election, Democrats are debating whether single-payer should be a “litmus test” for national candidates.

KEEPING SCORE: Britain’s FTSE 100 was flat at 7,704 while Germany’s DAX fell 0.2 percent to 12,833. France’s CAC 40 shed 0.2 percent as well, to 5,498. Wall Street was set for a subdued open, with Dow futures up 0.1 percent and S&P 500 futures down 0.1 percent. ASIA’S DAY: Japan’s Nikkei 225 index dropped 0.7 percent to 22,544.84 and South Korea’s Kospi edged 0.1 percent lower to 2,293.51. The Shanghai Composite index slipped 0.2 percent to 2,869.05 and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index lost 0.3 percent to 28,733.13. CENTRAL BANKS: Investors will keep an eye on monetary policy meetings by three top central banks: in the U.S., Japan and U.K. The Bank of England is expected to nudge up its key interest rate by a quarter point on Thursday as inflation remains high, and despite uncertainty around Brexit. Attention will also be on the outlook that the U.S. Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan give amid global trade tensions that can raise prices and weaken growth. U.S. ECONOMIC GROWTH: The U.S. economy accelerated in last quarter at an annual rate of 4.1 percent, its best showing since 2014, offi- cial data showed Friday. Consumers spent tax-cut money, businesses stepped up investment and exporters rushed to ship their goods ahead of retaliatory tariffs.

Caesars launching sports betting in New Jersey, Mississippi ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Two Atlantic City casinos owned by Caesars Entertainment will start taking sports bets this week, and another two in Mississippi will do so in mid-August. Caesars Entertainment tells The Associated Press its Bally’s casino in Atlantic City will start taking sports bets at 11 a.m. Monday. Its sister casino in Atlantic City, Harrah’s will start taking sports bets on Wednesday. The company says it soon will offer mobile sports betting, as well, although it did not set a timetable. The gambling industry is closely watching to see which casino will be the first in New Jersey to offer online sports betting following a May ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on a case brought by the state that cleared the way for all 50 states to offer legal sports betting, should they choose. By mid-August, Harrah’s Gulf Coast in Biloxi and Horseshoe Tunica, both in Mississippi, will begin taking on-premises sports bets. The company says it may expand the mobile betting app to other states besides New Jersey, if and when it makes financial sense to do so. Bally’s and Harrah’s will become the third and fourth Atlantic City casinos with sports betting, join- ing Borgata and Ocean Resort. Two horse racing tracks, Monmouth Park in Oceanport, and the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, also offer sports betting in New Jersey. “The recent Supreme Court ruling allows us to expand our sports betting digital and mobile offerings into new markets,” said Mark Frissora, president and CEO of Caesars Entertainment. “We recognize that our customers expect exciting new experiences, which is why we will continue to offer new prod- ucts through our mobile and digital platforms and inside our properties.” Caesars said it will build full sports book facilities at Bally’s and Harrah’s over the next nine months. Temporary facilities have been set up in Bally’s. The company is partnering with Scientific Games to offer the sports betting technology through its OpenBet sports book. Sports betting began in mid-June in New Jersey at the Borgata and Monmouth Park. Ocean Resort began offering it in the last three days of the month. During that two-week period, they took in $16.4 million worth of sports bets.

Greater Portland (Maine) exploded for six runs over the first two innings and held off Westfield 6-3 in the Babe Ruth Baseball 13-Year-Old New England Regionals semifinals Saturday at Bullens Field. The game, which pitted a tournament unbeaten (Portland) and a team that staved off elimination for two straight games (Westfield), was up for grabs early. Westfield came out with a purpose.

Westfield threatened in the bottom half of the inning, reaching on two straight errors. Portland’s defense turned a double play though to end the threat.

TV Sports Listings Dear Monday, July 30 ESPN - Milwaukee at L.A. Dodgers HORSE RACING SOCCER 4 p.m. 7:30 a.m. Annie FS2 - Saratoga Live, Coronation Cup Stakes, at Saratoga Springs, ESPNU - International Champions Cup, Paris Saint-Germain vs. N.Y. Atletico Madrid, at Singapore By ANNIE LANE MLB BASEBALL SWIMMING 7 p.m. 6 p.m. Workout Friend Feels Spurned ESPN - Philadelphia at Boston NBCSN - U.S. National Championships, at Irvine, Calif. (taped) Dear Annie: I have a friend in her early 60s who has been my 10 p.m. workout partner for about 10 years. We usually meet up three times during the week for a 5:30 a.m. workout because we are both employed. I also belong to another facility, which I attend two to three times per week for group training classes. In the summer, I enjoy being outdoors and do a lot of walking; therefore, my 5:30 a.m. workouts are not so frequent. My so- At The Movies called friend knows my routine, and I reminded her that I would not be showing up regularly before summer began. Last week, I made it to the gym two days, and both days she was very cold to me. On the second day, I approached her and asked whether everything was all right, and she put her finger up and said I should know what was wrong. When I said I didn’t, she said I embarrassed her at this gym by leaving her “alone” to work out for the past month. I told her she could join me and another friend for a walk at night, but she flat out said no. About a month ago, she asked to meet another one of my recent friends, and I thought that was very weird. I have never asked to meet any of her friends, and why would she want to see whom I associate with? I believe she is jealous, and I can’t make myself apologize for doing nothing wrong. There are plenty of other members who go at 5:30 a.m., and being a member there for 10-plus years, she should be able to make conversation with others. I’m the type of person who is very friendly, and my objective is to get my session done and leave, not socialize. -- Gym Member in Connecticut Dear Gym Member: Your friend is acting childishly. You were very upfront and mature with her about your upcoming summer schedule. She is acting more like 6 than 60. Try not to say that you feel she is jealous. There could be a whole host of reasons that she is being cold toward you. Trying to figure out which emotion is the cause of her coldness won’t do you or her any good. Instead, have a conversation with her about how you feel, all the while sticking to your schedule. You could always look at it as a huge form of flattery. She misses working out with you! And you should be commended for being so diligent about your workouts, whether you do them alone or with this friend or with another friend. Dear Annie: I’d like to add to the letter from “Exhausted in Montreal,” who is tired of loud music at restaurants and in stores. The thing that bothers me the most is that so often when I am watching a movie on television, I cannot hear the dialogue over the music score. I’ve turned off many movies lately because of this.

commonweAlth of mAssAchUsetts dePARtment of PUBlic Utilities notice of AdJUdicAtion notice of PUBlic comment heARinG D.P.U. 18-21 NSTAR Electric Company d/b/a Eversource Energy Notice is hereby given that on April 17, 2018, NSTAR Electric Company d/b/a Eversource En- ergy (“Eversource” or “Com- pany”) filed with the Department of Public Utilities (“Department”): (1) a petition seeking approval to construct and use a new, ap- proximately 3.0-mile, 115 kilo- volt (“kV”) transmission line ( “New Line”) on existing struc- tures along an existing electric transmission right-of-way (“ROW”) from the Buck Pond Substation to a new, proposed switching station, the Atwater Switching Station, all in the City of Westfield, Massachusetts, and to install an approximately 0.4-mile loop line that would connect an existing 115 kV over- head transmission line with the new Atwater Switching Station (“Loop Line”) pursuant to G.L. c. 164, § 72; and (2) a petition re- questing individual and compre- hensive exemptions from the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Westfield to modify the existing Buck Pond Substation and con- struct the new Atwater Switch- ing Station, pursuant to G.L. c. 40A, § 3 (together, the “Peti- tions”). Collectively, the New Line, Loop Line, the proposed Atwater Switching Station, and the modifications of the Buck Pond Substation constitute the Westfield Reliability Project (“Project”). The Department will review the Project to determine whether it is necessary, serves the public convenience and is consistent with the public interest, pursu- ant to G.L. c. 164, § 72. The De- partment will also determine whether the zoning exemptions requested by Eversource are re- quired and whether the pro- posed use of the land is reason- ably necessary for the conveni- ence or welfare of the public, pursuant to G.L. c. 40A, § 3.
the department will conduct a public comment hearing to re- ceive public comment on the Project at 7:00 p.m. on monday, August 13, 2018, at south middle school Auditori- um, 30 west silver street, westfield, mA 01085. At the public comment hearing, Eversource will present an over- view of the Project. Public offi- cials and members of the public will have an opportunity to ask questions and make comments about the Project. The public comment hearing will be recor- ded by a court reporter. The public may also file written com- ments, which will be given equal consideration to oral comments made at the public comment hearing. To file written com- ments, please see the section titled “Comments, Intervention, and Participation” toward the end of this Notice.
description of the Project The Westfield Reliability Project is proposed to meet transmis- sion system needs in the west- ern Massachusetts area as iden- tified by the Independent Sys- tem Operator-New England through its regional planning process. The proposed 3.0-mile New Line would start at the new Atwater Switching Station loc- ated at 25 Oakdale Avenue in Westfield and proceed northerly following an existing ROW. The New Line would intersect Pro- spect Street, Montgomery Street, Furrow Street, Willis Street, the Massachusetts Turn- pike (I-90), Lockhouse Road, and Servistar Industrial Way, terminating at Buck Pond Sub- station located on Westfield Gas & Electric Company property at 83 Medeiros Way in Westfield. One portion of the 0.4-mile Loop Line would start at Atwater Switching Station and proceed westerly along an existing ROW, approximately 1,400 feet, to a location along the ROW identi- fied as Oakdale Junction. This portion would not intersect any roads. The other portion of the Loop Line would start at Atwater Switching Station and proceed southerly along an existing ROW approximately 890 feet, cross- ing over Pochassic Street be- fore reaching a location identi- fied as Pochassic Junction. The Project would require modi- fications at the Buck Pond Sub- station and the construction of the new Atwater Switching Sta- tion. Modifications at the Buck Pond Substation would include a new breaker, line terminal struc- ture, and three transmission line monopoles. The Atwater Switch- ing Station would be located on an 1.9-acre Company-owned parcel and would require con- struction of a three-breaker ring bus and associated gas-insu- lated circuit breakers, control house, two 78-foot-tall steel transmission line structures, ex- tension of a gravel access road from Oakdale Avenue, fencing, and looping of an existing trans- mission line and the New Line.
