The Truth about Spiraling Health Care Prices in the U.S.: Medical Technology, Low Productivity and Paying More for Everything (Part I of 2 Parts)
The conventional wisdom about skyrocketing healthcare costs tends to blame someone: patients who demand too much care; doctors who practice defensive medicine because they fear being sued; aging boomers, and finally, everyone’s favorite, “the insurance companies.”
In fact, none of the above is the driving force behind the nation’s spiraling health care bill, according to a brand new rep...

An eroding model for health insurance
Working Americans once could rely on employer-based benefits. But more people are being forced into the individual market, where coverage is costly, bare-bones and precarious.

HEALTH POLITICS: Truthful—and Helpful—Moments in Presidential Debate
Len Nichols -
October 8, 2008 - 11:20am
The debate last night touched on health care reform a fair bit, and there were two really great moments, in my view. One was when John McCain said loud and clear that our economic hard times do not mean that people who are hurting should have to wait for help to buy health insurance. That should help silence opponents of reform who are so quick to say we can’t afford health reform any more so let’s stop talking about it so much. This economic malaise argument is the ultimate attempt to change the sub...

Health Care: Right or Responsibility?
merrill goozner
October 08, 2008
It’s unlikely last night’s debate will change many minds. Both John McCain and Barack Obama spent most of the evening reciting well rehearsed campaign themes. But there was one exchange that elucidated a fundamental difference between the two men over core values, triggered by Tom Brokaw’s intriguing question: “Is health care a right or a privilege?”
The Republican nominee hesitated briefly before changing the terms of the question. McCain called health care an individual responsibility. This fits well with his plan to tax ...

The leaves are turning, the weather is becoming tolerable. Fall is most definitely my favorite season.
It's also wedding season- I've been to two in the last two weeks, having beared witness to two of the coolest guys I know marry their loved ones. Not each other, but more on that in a bit...
What's great about weddings is the mix of people. The first wedding, everyone I knew there- including the bride and groom- was through Bella Morte. Most of the local music were present, and I even got an ego stroke for my hard work in Synthetic Division.
Then this past weekend, Gwenn and I traveled away from the homestead to Connec...

getting close to the thousandth post at http://aids-write.org. never imagined such a thing could happen. so, in order to keep up with myself, http://aids-write.org will begin including original video reports ad well as text reports.
i don’t have it figured out yet, so this should be interesting. i can get the videos to play on netscape, but not on firefox. i have found msoffice to be a huge invitation for viruses, so i won’t use it.
hope it all comes through ok at your end of things.

Nobel Prize Announcements 2008
medicine/physiology
Three European scientists share the first of this year’s Nobel awards - the medicine prize - for discovering viruses responsible for two serious human diseases.
Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Luc Montagnier of France discovered the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes Aids, while Harald zur Hausen of Germany went against current thinking to postulate correctly that human papilloma virus (HPV) causes cervical cancer, the second most common cancer in women.

Paul Krugman Wins the Nobel Prize for Economics
The Nobel committee in Stockholm rewarded Paul Krugman today with the Nobel Prize for economics. The committee noted his work on trade, which occurred early in his career and with which I sometimes found myself in mild disagreement, working as I did in the middle of a declining industrial Midwest for which the benefits of free trade were hard to find. I wanted more attention paid to the short-term losers under liberalized trade regimes like NAFTA, and Krugman’s voice was just one of many among mainstream economists pushing for greater liberalization, although to be fair...

CA CPS admonished to cooperate in grand jury probe
By Marjie Lundstrom and Sam Stanton
mlundstrom@sacbee.com
Published 12:34 pm PDT Friday, October 3, 2008
Complaining that its investigation of Child Protective Services is being stonewalled, the Sacramento County grand jury has warned all CPS employees and its leaders that they must cooperate with the panel’s probe.
In a strongly worded two-page letter issued to all CPS workers this week, the grand jury said it has “been met with staff resistance and staff improperly refusing to answer general program questions…”
“Any further refusals to answe...

The last few days have been really busy for me. Today’s post is about recovery. Over the weekend I attended the round up. A round up is several day gathering that many of the twelve-step groups hold.
I’m not about this anonymity shit, not the part of about others that is understandable.
My name and anonymous rarely end up in the same sentence. It’s not clear if by the traditions that I’m not supposed to publicly identify with one particular 12-step group.
The deal is always in the details
The round up includes open meetings, then workshops and social time such as a brunch and dinner. The entertainment they p...
