Now here’s the best of what YOU had to say:
- ‘I was looking for death on the streets.’ “Even with no police, no threat of police, even with warm, caring, non-judgmental staff to greet them, even while in the very act of doing something that is good for themselves and benefits others — even with all that, it is a mostly hunched and hushed interaction. No one, absolutely no one, strides proudly into needle exchange.”
- Stryker Biotech spars with prosecutors over criminal charges. “Federal prosecutors blasted Stryker Corp.’s (NYSE:SYK) biotech subsidiary, its former president and three sales reps for seeking the dismissal of the bulk of the 16 criminal charges pending against them in a federal case alleging the illegal promotion of bone putties.”
- CMS head Donald Berwick faces congressional hot seat. “Republican senators, led by healthcare hawk Charles Grassley of Iowa, are gearing up to grill Berwick on a number of issues…”
- Most Americans will pay a lot more for healthcare. “What is clear is that health care is about to get MUCH more expensive for the majority of Americans, even those from the government’s definition of ‘middle class.’ “
