The Self-Defeating Logic of Gym Memberships
I belong to a local gym. I’m supposed to go there to exercise. I pay $40 a month for the privilege, but I would estimate that I actually get to the gym twice a month. This failure to find the necessary time to work out is by itself a self-defeating, exercise-discouraging proposition. By equating exercise […]

The Most Natural Treatment for Constipation
In the middle of an otherwise complicated visit, an older woman reminded me of a very basic treatment for constipation that she discovered 40 years prior. It involves no medication, no special diet, and no unpleasant bowel regimen. It does, however, require a certain maturity of character. This technique demands assertiveness, social bravery, and a […]

What Kmart ’s Settlement Says About Health Care Fraud
This reportedly violated regulations requiring pharmacies to apply their usual and customary charges when billing government payers.
The DOJ claims that “[t]he government’s resolution of this matter illustrates the government’s emphasis on combating health care fraud,” It might more accurately have said that the settlement adds to the mountain of evidence showing that the government cannot control even the most obvious forms of health care fraud, a point we make at length in our forthcoming book, Overcharged: Why Americans Pay Too Much For Health Care.
For one thing, at the very same time government payers were hon...

Appreciating Charles Krauthammer
I was crushed by Charles Krauthammer ’s moving announcementhere. When I was just out of college –many years ago now–I worked briefly as his research assistant. He was as kind and generous in person as he is sharp and incisive in print. What a blow to lose his wit, independence, and integrity.

Sharing Hope: An Interview with Charles Minguez
According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, hope is: “a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen,” “a feeling of trust,” “want something to happen or be the case.”

When a person succumbs to the illness, often it is because he or she has relinquished the possibility of healing.

What is “new car smell” and is it bad for you? As I shopped for a new car last year, I realized that my priorities were considered odd by most car salesmen.
