    RIVERSIDE, Calif. — In the Inland Empire, an economically depressed region in Southern California, President Obama’s health care law is expected to extend insurance coverage to more than 300,000 people by 2014. But coverage will not necessarily translate into care: Local health experts doubt there will be enough doctors to meet the area’s needs. There are not enough now.

    From a citizen: A relatively safe country as we have strict laws and practise a sensible approach to public liberty and freedom. One does not carry a knife with blade longer than 5cm or small arms in public. An assembly of more than five persons is also not legal. There has been no incidence of mass shootings, serial killing, etc. However do not take safety for granted ---it is better to go out at night with a partner and it is not recommended to go out drinking in sleazy spots after midnight.
