Biden said he was open to having some work requirements, but said he wouldn’t sign off on measures that block access to medical care
resident Joe Biden said he is “confident” he can reach a spending deal with Republicans to avert a default that could include some Republican demands for“I voted years ago for the work requirements that exist, but it’s possible there could be a few others but not anything of any consequence,” Biden told reporters in the Roosevelt Room on Wednesday, minutes before leaving the White House for a curtailed trip to Asia.
The negotiations have been stuck in part on a Republican demand that millions of Americans who receive food stamps and federal health insurance show longer work hours to qualify for benefits. The HouseBiden said Wednesday he was open to having some work requirements, but said he wouldn’t sign off on measures that block access to medical care. “I’m not going to accept any work requirements that’s going to impact on medical health needs of people.

Use of Sleep Aids in Insomnia: The Role of Time Monitoring BehaviorABSTRACT Objective: Over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription sleep medications are frequently used as treatments for chronic insomnia, despite risks and limited long-term efficacy. Investigating mechanisms underlying this predilection for pharmacotherapy may uncover strategies to decrease reliance on sleep aids. The objective of this study was to determine how time monitoring behavior (TMB; clock-watching) and associated frustration may interact with insomnia symptoms to drive the use of sleep aids. Methods: Patients (N = 4,886) presenting for care at a community-based, private sleep medical center between May 2003 and October 2013 completed the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and Time Monitoring Behavior-10 (TMB-10) and reported their frequency of sleep medication use (OTC and prescription, separately). Mediation analyses examined how clock-watching and related frustration could be associated with insomnia symptoms and medication use. Results: The relationship between TMB and sleep medication use was significantly explained by ISI (P | .05), in that TMB (especially related frustration) appears to aggravate insomnia, which in turn leads to sleep aid use. Similarly, but to a lesser extent, the relationship between ISI and sleep medication use was explained by TMB, in that ISI may lead to increased TMB, which may in turn lead to sleep aid use. Conclusions: TMB and the associated frustration it engenders may perpetuate a negative cycle of insomnia and sleep aid use. Future longitudinal and interventional research is necessary to examine the developmental course of these clinical symptoms and behaviors and to test whether decreasing frustration by limiting TMB reduces the proclivity for pharmacotherapy.
