The intimate lives of celebrities and socialites are subject to endless speculation in our culture, as these vaunted public figures often become not only objects of our fascination, but also our fantasies .

Sex prevents heart disease – but only in men: Making love can protect the heart from a dangerous chemical in the blood, study finds

Study shows making love several times a week can cut levels of homocysteine This is a harmful chemical in the blood which can trigger cardiac problems Benefits women less because sexual arousal isn't as dependent on blood flow Researchers called on doctors to advise at-risk male patients to have more sex Regular sex really is the best medicine for preventing life-threatening heart disease – if you're a man, scientists have found. New research shows making love several times a week can slash levels of homocysteine, a harmful chemical in the blood which can trigger cardiac problems. It's thought men getting sex often have better circulation and healthier blood vessels. This is crucial for preventing a build-up of homocysteine. But scientists say women benefit much less because sexual arousal is less dependent on having a healthy blood flow, which is a key factor in keeping homocysteine under control. Researchers behind the study called on doctors to advise m...

Sen Bob Corker: Health care and impending 'fiscal calamity' worry me more than North Korea

Worries about North Korea and terrorism aside, Sen. Bob Corker said Thursday "our biggest threat is ourselves." Corker told CNBC his top concerns are passing a health-care bill and avoiding an "almost inevitable" fiscal disaster. "We have $20 trillion in debt and we're continuing to do things that make that worse every day," Corker said on " Squawk Box ." "And I believe unless something abruptly changes very soon, we will have a fiscal calamity, and it's going to make all the other ills that we're dealing with in the nation pale." Lawmakers will meet again on Monday after their Fourth of July break. A top priority is dealing with the Republicans' attempt to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Corker blames some states that are concerned with Medicaid cuts outlined in the bill as "holding us hostage" from ever being able to pass a bill. On the numbers side, Corker said spending would increas...

Republicans try to shift health-care blame back to Democrats

To state the obvious: Partisan video clips are not designed to make the other party look good. There’s an art to these things. You compile the worst moments by the other team, or by an opponent, and try to make them go viral. But a strange, flailing campaign by the Republican National Committee to demand a Democratic fix for the Affordable Care Act goes unusually far in misrepresenting what the opposition party is doing or saying. The RNC’s push began on Wednesday with a series of tweets at Democrats such as Hillary Clinton, demanding they put up plans of their own. Clinton responded, predictably, by linking to the ACA plan she ran on in 2016, which included fully funding insurance subsidies and letting younger people buy into Medicare. Unbowed, the RNC released a compilation of Democrats being asked by talking heads why they would not work with Republicans to fix the ACA. Most analysis of the video has been that it’s simply bizarre. As Republicans know, ...

'Shame On Ted': Health Care Protests Greet Ted Cruz In Texas

At an event Wednesday night, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was met by about 150 protesters who oppose the Senate's efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. On a hot evening, they stood outside a hotel in McKinney, a north Dallas suburb, shouting "shame on Ted" and "save Medicaid." The by-invitation, town hall-style event was held one day after the senator's appearance in McAllen was disrupted by protesters concerned about health care as well as immigration. Cruz is holding several town halls across Texas during the current congressional recess; he will also be in San Antonio and Austin this week. The audience Wednesday night was mostly veterans who are friendly to the senator. The event was sponsored by the conservative group Concerned Veterans For America. There were just four to five questions from the audience and all were screened in advance. The Texas senator spent much of the event advocating for more health care choices for veterans...

GOP Sen. John Hoeven comes out against health care bill

(CNN) Sen. John Hoeven is the latest Republican senator to come out against party leaders' plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, sharing his reservations at a roundtable in North Dakota this week. According to the Bismarck Tribune , Hoeven participated in a discussion at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine on Wednesday. There, he told constituents that he "doesn't support the (health care) bill as it stands," though the Tribune noted that Hoeven also expressed confidence that the bill could be improved, and cited premium costs as an area of concern. Hoeven's reservations add him to a growing list of Republicans who are withholding their support, further imperiling legislation that already faced long odds. He is at least the tenth GOP senator to say he'll oppose the bill in its current form. With a slim majority in the Senate, Republicans can only afford to lose two of their 52 senators for the bill to pass under reconciliation. Hoev...
