Majority of America Against Govt. Healthcare

A new poll shows a majority of Americans are against President Obama's healthcare reform plan.
The Gallup poll indicates 54% believe it's not up to the federal government to provide healthcare insurance coverage.
The Affordable Care Act passed in March 2010.
And in June, the Supreme Court upheld most of the president's initiative.. including allowing patients with pre-existing conditions access to insurance.
It also allows young adults to stay on their parents' insurance plans.
President Obama's election victory neutralized efforts by Republicans to overturn it.
It's the first time in 12 years the Gallup poll trend has shown a majority of Americans feel the government shouldn't be responsible for providing healthcare coverage.

May 18, 2013 18:49 GMT

SALLISAW, Okla. (AP) -- A judge has ruled there is enough evidence to put a Sallisaw man on trial for a 1997 beating death during a robbery.

During a preliminary hearing Friday, Sequoyah County Special Judge Larry Langley ordered 38-year-old Rex Richard Robbins III to be tried on a first-degree murder charge. He is accused in the death of 28-year-old Mitchell Dayne Nixon

The Southwest Times Record in Fort Smith, Ark., reports (http://is.gd/kN0ZLc ) another man allegedly involved in the incident has died and a third suspect is in federal prison.

Robbins has been held without bond at the Sequoyah County Detention Center since his March 6 arrest.

The cold case was reopened two years ago. Robbins spoke to investigators in March and allegedly described all three men attacking the victim.
