Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a tip of the hat to Frederic Bastiat, had literally endorsed a candlemakers’ petition to the federal government to protect them against overseas competition. I was reminded of that today when I read that Rep. Michele Bachmann literally thanked the federal government for its purchase of pork from Minnesota farmers: On Oct. 5, 2009, Bachmann wrote Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack praising him for injecting money into the pork industry through the form of direct government purchases. She went on to request additional assistance. “Your efforts to stabilize prices through direct government purchasing of pork and dairy products are very much welcomed by the producers in Minnesota, and I would encourag...

This was a busy week in women’s health—an issue of global importance. On June 7th, Women Deliver 2010, the largest meeting on global maternal health in the last ten years, kicked off in Washington, DC. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon delivered opening remarks and US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton addressed participants via video. The conference offered an opportunity to take stock of progress that has been made in improving global maternal health while assessing the challenges that remain. Women Deliver 2010 highlighted achievements in reducing maternal mortality, breakthroughs in reproductive technology, the role of women’s health in development, and remaining obstacles to improving maternal health around the world. The conference’s 3,000 participant...

If government isn’t doing it, they think, then it isn’t being done. When the Republicans threatened to nick the budget of the National Endowment for the Arts, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton wailed that the proposal “not only threatens irrevocable damage to our cultural institutions but also to our sense of ourselves and what we stand for as a people.” Seriously, she thought that if the then-$167 million of the NEA were eliminated, the $37 billion that Americans spent on the arts that year would somehow disappear in a puff of smoke? Sen. Edward M. Kennedy was even more sweeping when he said  in 1992, “The ballot box i...

I’ve noted the candidates’ autism plans in a previous post. Today’s Washington Post hones in on another way to consider the candidates, the alleged link between vaccines and autism. Back in February, Senator John McCain linked the rise in autism cases to thimerosal in vaccines. The Washing ton Post indicates that he’s not the only candidate who has “wandered into an exceptionally emotional medical debate in which they have no known scientific expertise”: According to David Kirby in today’s Huffington Post, Obama was quoted at a Pennsylvania rally yesterday saying that he is “suspicious” that the “skyrocketing” autism rate might c...

Although other bloggers beat me to it this year, this year, I will continue a tradition I first began in 2005: my annual wrap-up and outlook for the upcoming year as far as diabetes is concerned. (By the way, please feel free to look back at my 2005 summary or my 2006 summary, as you'll note most of my observations are accurate even today!)Time to Think Beyond Glycemic ControlSince the DCCT was published, the burden for secondary complications has shifted from away the disease itself to the person who has diabetes, despite the fact that no study (not even the DCCT) has ever been able to show that diabetes management alone can completely prevent complications, rather it only reduces the likelihood. Compare that to virtually any other disease, where the disease is...

The real question is whether it even matters? I cannot answer that question today, but I can provide some perspective on what the American drug industry is thinking.The pharmaceutical and health-products industry has spent more on lobbying Washington –- $1.1 billion -– since 1998 than any other industry, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, which analyzes lobbying disclosure reports. Critics of the pharmaceutical industry argue that heavy spending on lobbyists and campaign contributions is a big reason drug companies have gotten much of what they've sought in ...

It was a real honor to me to be interviewed today by Tim Farley on POTUS 08 with  XM Radio(the time for the interview, which was live, got moved around due to Trent Lott announcing his resignation and the interview was not archived). I noted that Hillary Rodham Clinton’s autism plan bears a lot of similarities to the autism legislation (like the Combating Autism Act (CAA) and the Expanding the Promise for Individuals with Autism Act (EPIAA) ) that have been passed, as her plan focuses both on funding research into the causes of autism and on education, services, and supports. I referred to the difficulties that families have had in getting services (such as behavior therapy)...

People who are diagnosed with autism are “autistic”; families that have an autistic child or other relative can be called “autism families.” (We don’t speak about “ADHD families” or “anorexic fam...

I’ll be talking about the presidential candidates and autism.  Share This (Source: Autism Vox) Autism Vox blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1049911 Mon, 26 Nov 2007 05:10:35 +0100 1049911 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=835505&cid=t_125260_134_f&fid=35152&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsstrumello.blogspot.com%2F2007%2F08%2Famerican-cancer-societys-effort-could.html Can the American Cancer Society's marketing efforts benefit people with diabetes? We may find out next year. In what was arguably one of the biggest news stories in the nonprofit arena recently, The New York Times is reporting that next year, the American Cancer Society announced plans to devote its entire $15 million advertising budget to the consequences of inadequate health coverage.Two 60-second television commercials that form the bulk of the campaign make that point readily apparent. One features images of uninsured cancer patients, appearing hollow and fearful. "This is what a health care crisis looks like to the American Cancer Society," the narrator begins. "We're making progress, but it's not enough if people don’t have access to the care that could save their lives."While its ...

The claim is that those making these records electronic will miraculously enable any doctor, anywhere nationwide, to have access to a patient's full records, thus reducing errors. But the reality isn't quite as rosy as proponents would have you believe. For one thing, pushing doctors to adopt computerized medical records does nothing to guarantee this information will actually be used in treating patients, although it does eliminate medical billing and coding that adds to the time necessary to pay a claim. But...

Healthcare is an important issue for the diabetes community, yet it has received little serious attention in Washington since former first lady, now Senator and 2008 Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered a complex proposal of more than 1,000 pages (the core element of which was an enforced mandate for employers to provide health insurance coverage to all of their employees through competitive but closely-regulated HMOs) to Congress on September 22, 1993. That plan, referred to derisively as "HillaryCare" by some, ultimately died in Congress.Since then, political leaders have largely ignored the issue, hoping it w...
