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.

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….

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.

Better Sleep Pillow patented, doctor developed, urethane memory foam pillow. Multi-positional contoured design. Better Sleep Pillow has a recessed portion for your arm along the entire length of the pillow, allowing you to sleep in a position that is most natural for your body. This recess provides support to your arm, head and neck, eliminating pain, numbness, tingling and arm sleep that you get during the night. The recesses offer relief from conditions such as frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injury, neck pain and neck and shoulder pain. This contour pillow is shaped to distribute forces away from the shoulders and arm, allowing your arm to rest unrestricted, without the weight or strain that comes from resting your head directly on the surface of your arm. The Better Sleep Pillow is not only the perfect side sleep pillow but the best pillow for all sleepers; Side sleepers enjoy the freedom of the recessed arm and shoulder support which is contoured so that you can rest your head and neck comfortably in a natural position that allows for correct spinal alignment, keeping your spine and muscles aligned and healthy. By elevating your head, this pillow allows the full extension of your neck and opens air passageways, thereby removing the circumstances that cause snoring and sleep apnea. The Better Sleep Pillow works well as a sleep apnea pillow and is the perfect snore pillow. The full support of your frame and spinal alignment improves poor circulation, prevents morning stiffness, and inhibits the formation of bed sores by redistributing your body weight. The Better Sleep Pillow is designed with your comfort in mind and comes with a free super soft zippered machine washable terrycloth cover.

![Pleasure and Pain [Clean]](http://medicine.findfastr.com/wpshopping/uploads/1922097555.jpeg)
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.]
