The bad news is US health care expenditures recently topped $1.9 trillion, and now constitute a full 16% of the economy, while health care inflation, and escalating health insurance premium costs are forcing more and more small to medium sized employers to reduce, if not eliminate, their health benefit coverage. As a result, the ranks of the uninsured are now averaging 17-18% nationally, with certain states north of 20% and 25% respectively.

As the cost of medical care, and health insurance continue to exceed the reach of many, so do the demands for reforms to improve access to doctors, guarantee universal health insurance coverage, or access cheaper alternatives to the retail cost of drugs. We may be close to a tipping point where some reform is inevitable, meanwhile, many of us are seek both domestic and offshore solutions to stay healthy, avoid costly trips to the hospital or doctor’s office, and source our medicines at more competitive prices.

Medtronic Initiates Voluntary Field Actions for Selected Heparin-Coated Products Used During Cardiopulmonary Bypass

September 2nd, 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — MINNEAPOLIS – May 7, 2008 – Medtronic, Inc. today announced that it is initiating a voluntary and precautionary recall of selected products featuring the Carmeda BioActive surface. The affected devices are disposable products used during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for heart surgeries. Affected products include blood oxygenators, reservoirs, pumps, cannulae, and tubing packs. This action is being taken subsequent to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s April 8, 2008 recommendation to device manufacturers that heparin supplies be checked with newly-developed tests, and that affected products be evaluated for possible field corrective action.

Limited lots of Carmeda-coated products were manufactured with heparin found to have been contaminated with oversulfated chondroitin sulfate (OSCS). The patient risk associated with the presence of OSCS in heparin-coated medical devices is not known at this time. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has received reports of serious injury and death in patients who have been administered injectable heparin products containing high levels of OSCS….

National Standards to Rank Physicians Planned

August 24th, 2008

By Reed Abelson, Originally published: April 1, 2008

Doctors and health insurers called a tentative truce Tuesday in their long-standing dispute over how health plans rank physicians’ efforts in taking care of patients. The parties said on Tuesday that they would develop a national set of standards to measure physician performance.

While insurers increasingly have been measuring doctors’ performance through public report cards or designating tiers of physicians that try to steer people to certain doctors, so far such rating efforts have been controversial. Doctors complain that the health plans have focused too much on cost, without regard to the quality of care physicians actually provide, and that rankings are often inaccurate.

Last year, the New York attorney general started an investigation into some of the plan’s rankings, eventually reaching an agreement with several major insurers on how they would proceed in rating physicians. Officials in other states are also looking closely at the issue.

“There has been a hodgepodge of measures that patients don’t know if they can rely on and doctors certainly don’t trust,” said Peter V. Lee, the executive director for health policy of the Pacific Business Group on Health, a San Francisco-based association of employers that offer health coverage, which helped push for the agreement.

Prophets Of Doom

November 18th, 2008

Prophets Of Doom
ProPain was always a loud, intense, forceful, in your face sort of band, and as the ’90s progressed, they became increasingly brutal they went from being hardhitting in the early ’90s to downright ferocious by the late ’90s. And on 2005’s Prophets of Doom, the New York City residents maintain their “take no prisoners” policy. Marking the band’s 15th anniversary, this CD breaks no new ground for ProPain; there are no substantial differences between Prophets of Doom and albums that ProPain provided in the late ’90s and early 2000s. But that isn’t to say that their skullcrushing alternative metal/hardcore assault is becoming stale far from it. ProPain sounds vital and inspired throughout this album, and one of the main things that inspires them is politics. A highly political effort, Prophets of Doom is as blistering lyrically as it is musically and scorching tracks like “Days of Shame,” “Hate Marches On,” “Death Toll Rises” and “Neocon” make it crystal clear that ProPain’s members are not the least bit happy with the policies of President George W. Bush and his administration. “Operation Blood for Oil” attacks U.S. foreign policy in Iraq, while “UnAmerican” is a commentary on what ProPain sees as a Joseph McCarthyish intolerance of political dissent during the Bush era. Actually, the album could have easily been called “Prophets of Rage” (to borrow an old Public Enemy song title) because rage is exactly what ProPain expresses on these politically charged songs. Prophets of Doom is unlikely to convert anyone who isn’t already a ProPain enthusiast, but their hardcore followers will be glad to know that the alt metal/hardcore agitators still have a lot on their minds after 15 years in the mosh pit.

Pleasure and Pain [Clean]

November 17th, 2008

Pleasure and Pain [Clean]
What’s more surprising? That Pleasure and Pain, One Twelve’s fifth album, is not a greatesthits compilation named after a song off their 1996 debut, or that it comes with a parental advisory label? In nearly a decade of existence, the group has amassed enough charting singles to warrant a concise bestof, and not many artists coming up with them during the mid’90s are still active. In the wake of parting with P. Diddy and Bad Boy, they’ve taken the opportunity to work with a mostly new pool of collaborators, including Mario Winans, Jermaine Dupri, and Bryan MichaelCox, who each pitch in once or twice. They remain selfsufficient otherwise, with member Daron Jones handling a good portion of the production duties. The result isn’t much different from the previous albums, with a few standout singles and album tracks surrounded by a generous amount of forgettable moments, and a similar ratio of upbeat numbers and ballads to match. The parental advisory label (a first for the once squeakyclean group) can actually be pinned on previously unlikely collaborators Three 6 Mafia. (Who could’ve ever predicted that a line as forthright as “Is she gonna chew me up or she gon’ swallow up my nads” would ever appear in one of their songs? Nobody.) [A clean version of the album was also made available, presumably with the group members' mothers in mind.]
