Does a nationwide EHR lower healthcare costs? Social media reactionsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A little over a month ago, I asked our Healthcare IT News social media followers if they believed a nation-wide transition to EHRs for doctors would lower healthcare costs. From Twitter to Facebook, there was a wide range of opinions. Some said that it would help lower administrative costs, while others were pessimistic about the approach at the time because of the debt crisis deadline. Over the course of the month many health IT professionals and onlookers shared their stories with us. read more

A Senate Bill To Promote Generics In MedicaidEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In a bid to help federal and state governments save money, a bipartisan trio of US Senators has introduced a bill to promote the use of generics in the Medicaid program. The move comes as brand-name drugmakers are also fighting on Capitol Hill to fend off a proposal that would restore rebates for drugs taken by seniors who are eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare (see this). Called the Affordable Medicines Utilization Act of 2011, the bill would give states incentives to increase generic drug use by letting them keep part of the difference that the federal government receives between the cost of a generic and its brand-...

High-Speed Rail and FederalismEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
By Tad DeHavenFlorida Governor Rick Scott deserves a big round of applause for dealing a major setback to the Obama administration’s costly plan for a national system of high-speed rail. As Randal O’Toole explains, the administration needed Florida to keep the $2.4 billion it was awarded to build a high-speed Orlando-to-Tampa line in order to build “momentum” for its plan. Instead, Scott put the interests of his taxpayers first and told the administration “no thanks.” That’s the good news. The bad news is that the administration is going to dole the money back out to 22 passenger-rail projects in other states...

The Administration Concedes DefeatEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
By Randal O'TooleTo sell his high-speed rail program, President Obama desperately needed a success story—a high-speed train operating during his administration that would awe the public and lead to a national demand for more such lines. That success story was going to be Florida’s Orlando-to-Tampa line, the only true high-speed route (as opposed to speeding up existing trains by 3 to 5 mph) that could have been completed during Obama’s term in office (assuming he is re-elected). Anticipating that success, the administration drafted a proposal to use federal gasoline taxes and a “new energy tax” to...

By Michael F. CannonA couple of people have asked me about a comment David Rivkin made at Cato's recent conference on the first anniversary of ObamaCare. Rivkin is representing the 26 states suing to overturn ObamaCare in Florida v. HHS, the case in which a federal judge declared ObamaCare unconstitutional and void. In his most recent ruling in that case, Judge Roger Vinson allowed the Obama administration to keep implementing and enforcing the law, in part because the fact that most of the plaintiff states are also implementing the law "undercut" their request that he stop the Obama administration from doing so.  I (and...

Bushy tailed and bright-eyed, I found myself a seat at the trauma review precourse at USC Essentials of emergency medicine in San Francisco. Beneath the vent of an overenthusiastic air conditioning system I soon stopped shivering as profound hypothermia took an insidious hold. Fortunately the pre-precourse warm up involved a big screen appearance of my esteemed countrymen the Flight of the Conchords and their number 23 hit "Hurt Feelings"

President Obama Fails to Understand TradeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
By Daniel IkensonAt the beginning of the Obama administration, I had the audacity to hope that the new president would defy conventional wisdom and become a proponent of trade and a good spokesman for its benefits. Scott Lincicome and I even wrote a 20,000-plus word Cato analysis explaining why the economic, geopolitical, and domestic political environment offered the president a unique opportunity to steer his party back to its pro-trade roots. The thrust of our analysis was that, despite the campaign rhetoric, the president understood the economic benefits of trade and that he would see it as an escape route from recessi...

Take that Nap! It May Boost Your Learning Capacity Among Other Good Things.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Anyone who knows me knows that my favorite pastime is napping. In College, I would come back to my dorm room, and like clockwork, would take a nap. My best friend in England, who got quite a kick out of my passion for napping, once tried to persuade me to drink a cup of tea after lunch instead of taking my customary nap. I really tried, but I soon gave in to my nap cravings. Sometimes I feel like I really need to re-charge my brain batteries. Well, now science is on my side. I just love this new study, which was presented by Matthew Walker, assistant professor at UC Berkeley, at the annual meeting of the American Associati...

I Loved TCOYD, Des Moines, IA (Taking Control of Your Diabetes)Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I didn't think too long before deciding to head down for the Taking Control of Your Diabetes (TCOYD) Conference that happened on September 25, 2010.  It's less than a single tank of gas, and only a four hour drive from my house to downtown Des Moines, IA.  Add in a night or two in a hotel, and it's a perfect recipe for recharging my "Diabetes Battery" and visiting with some folks from around the DOC.I played basketball on Friday afternoon, then got in my car and sat behind the wheel for four hours straight.  When I got down to Des Moines I was so stiff and sore I didn't think I'd be able to get out of my c...
