Concerning Section 1233 - (USA)
Posted by Mark KleimanEvery time a physician offers a patient a medical service that the physician provides, the physician stands to gain financially if the patient accepts. In some sense, that constitutes a "financial conflict of interest." But the mind of Charles Lane, allowing Medicare to pay for end-of-life counseling, and requiring a physician who provides such counseling paid for by Medicaid to mention the full range of options, including hospice care, would "skew" the patient's decisi

Letter from 2012 in Obama’s America - (USA)
I want to make sure the content of the letter about Barack Obama sent out prior to last year’s election by James Dobson’s Focus on the Family Citizen Link is preserved for future internet searchers and readers. These type of documents have a habit of disappearing. ( pdf format ) This letter could also be titled “ The People who Wrote This Letter and Believe What Is in This Letter Scare the Shit Out of Me!” This letter is a reminder of how serious the right-wing theocrats are about establ

End of month round up - (USA)
We’ve got quite a few things to mention today. There’s the Lancet Digest, though unfortunately our weekly podcast has had to be postponed, so look out for that on Monday! We’d like to draw your attention to a viewpoint in the new issue of the Lancet on torture and how the idea is becoming more acceptable to the public (in part through TV programmes such as 24, hence the title “Who is Jack Bauer?”). It asks doctors and health workers to throw the weight of their professions behind calls to end t

Sorta, there is an Obama "death panel" in House health care bill. - (USA)
Tapper goes after Palin for her interpretation of Page 425, Section 1233 of the House Dems bill titled advance care planning consultation . Polifacts says its not true but they are not thinking the plan all the way to its logical conclusion. In her chat with Thompson, McCaughey said the language can be found on page 425 of the health care bill, so we started there. Indeed, Sec. 1233 of the bill, labeled "Advance Care Planning Consultation" details how the bill would, for the first time,

Chomsky on The Election, Economy, War, and Peace - (USA)
By Noam Chomsky. Republished from Znet 11/25/08 Noam Chomsky: Tireless critic of Western imperialism. Routinely blackballed by the corporate media he remains far less well known and influential at home than abroad. The Election The word that immediately rolled off of every tongue after the presidential election was "historic." And rightly so. A Black family in the White House is truly a momentous event. There were some surprises. One was that the election was not over after the Democrati

Associate Degrees for In-Demand Careers - (USA)
by Sophie Peters An associates degree is generally awarded by community colleges and junior colleges. However, a few four-year colleges and universities also award the degree.

Dear Economist: The readers respond - (USA)
> Economists might not be an obvious source of advice on parenting, the intricacies of etiquette or the dark arts of seduction. Even seen in the most flattering light, the economist can appear a remote figure: resolutely rational, untroubled by indecision or weakness of the will, a Spock-like creature too wedded to theory to be able to relate to mere human concerns. At worst he can look like a social naïf, if not an outright sociopath; a man (or occasionally a woman) who knows the price of

Do Indian elections matter to Pandit Ji and Aslam? - (USA)
Read any newspaper story or watch any news channel, the persons who are quoted and those who are referred to are mostly the upwardly mobile Indian--the software techie, the BPO guy, a businessman or an IIM graduate apart from celebrities. It is this particular section of urban class, which constitutes less than 5% of the population, that gets disproportionate attention. During the election time, an exception is made. The farmers are also thought of and there are promises of waiving electricity

More importantly, he is doing what the Barisan Nasional and the opposition are not able to: re-focus the national lens on economics and the well-being of the country. In late 2007, upon returning from the United Kingdom, I realised that the cos

The Myth of a ‘Capitalist’ Health Insurance Industry - (USA)
In a recent letter to the Wall Street Journal , former Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich explained why the critics of our “capitalist, free-market” health insurance industry are full of it. Maryland is very typical of all other states in that the state legislature imposes more than sixty regulatory mandates on companies that wish to insure their workers. If they do so, they must offer the services of 66 different medical professions, even massage therapy, or not offer health insurance at all

For longer than I care to remember, I’ve been working on the Place component of the Ps Framework for chapter 2 of my thesis .
