there's nothing more important than our health. so when it comes to health reform, we need a solution that works for all of us. now the president and congress have a plan that combines the best ideas, from democrats and republicans, business owners and workers, doctors, nurses and patients. a plan that keeps bureaucrats out of your health care you choose your own doctor, make your own decisions, and you can't be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition. that's reform we can all feel good about.

those folks who don't travel that frequently who are traveling to get home. especially military, students, that sort of thing. >> i think it's a bad idea. if they want to raise the ticket prices year round, they should go ahead and raise the ticket prices. sure charges are ridiculous. >> but that is the kind of taken advantage people resent. and they feel like the airlines have no mercy for them at all. >> right now, holiday air fares are running between 15-20% lower than last year. for those of you hitting the beltway, a heads up. specifically the beltway at mcclane. tonight all lanes of all of the inner and outer loop will be shut down between midnight and 5:00 a.m. crews are going to be moving power line as part of the dulles corridor metro rail project that is right there in mcclane. the weather should be okay for crews to get that done but
