Now here’s the best of what YOU had to say:
- Death panel fears force Obama, health reformers to hide. “The Obama administration may come to regret its decision to sneak a rule into a Medicare’s annual update for reimbursement rates that would reimburse physicians for helping the elderly write end-of-life directives. By violating their own promise to run an open government, they’ve needlessly endangered a much-needed policy.”
- Wall Street Journal lost its way on mental health policy. “More than 20 years ago, a senior colleague told me a good shortcut to weed through a business literature search: just limit the search to the Wall Street Journal. They cover most topics and usually get the story right. I’ve followed that advice a lot, even in the era of Google when searches are much simpler, and it’s still a good tip. A recent Journal, though, had an article that really missed the mark.”
- Medical practice owners: 6 Web sites worth visiting. “In this article, I will be sharing with you a few of my favorite online resources that are no further away than your fingertips, and which include tools and guidance of specific merit to the private practice owner. I hope you enjoy the following resources, and hope they make your life a little bit easier when you decide to ’look it up’ yourself.”
