...patient-protection acts, yet have not seen waves of new lawsuits or hordes of workers dropped from insurance rolls. The year after Texas enacted its patients'-rights law, the cost of premiums decreased while the number of people with insurance increased more than 200,000, according to Kennedy. "The actual number of uninsured has gone down," he argues. His bill would shield employers from suits except when they are directly involved in medical decisions. Even Bush has said he doesn't want to let employers completely off the hook. Can they find middle ground...
Most mothers know something of the mental slipperiness that can come with a new baby. Up to three-quarters of them experience some mild form of postpartum "blues"--a sense of anxiety and defeat that usually fades in a few days. About 10% to 15% experience actual depression. But in 1 of every 1,000 births, the mother develops what is called postpartum psychosis, in which she breaks from reality, in rare cases becoming violent.

...course, maybe what he's not saying is that he's done all he can do. This doldrum could definitely be around a while. In the recessionary manufacturing sector, capacity utilization - actual production, as opposed to how much it could produce if anybody wanted it - is at the lowest point since the last recession. Banks are writing off bad loans hand over fist, and plenty gun-shy about lending to businesses with too few customers, no matter how cheap the money...
