...parties to work together in the Senate. Baucus' closest friend in the chamber is the Finance Committee's ranking Republican, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, an equally rough-hewn legislator, with whom he has traded the chairmanship three times since 2001. The two meet at least once a week and boast a rare degree of cooperation. "As far as working together and trying to find solutions," says Grassley, their aides function as "basically one staff...
...patient outcomes. A new drug or treatment may reliably lower cholesterol, say, or reduce the size of a tumor - these are surrogate outcomes - and the drug-maker would call that a success. But the ultimate goal of treatment isn't simply to give you lab results you can boast about, it's to make you feel better and live longer; those are the patient outcomes. Sometimes though, good surrogate outcomes don't lead to good patient outcomes. Hormone replacement therapy, for example, raises good cholesterol, which helps reduce the risk heart disease.

...many of those 3,000 respondents had much they could boast about. Only 1.5% reported having a comprehensive EHR system in place in all clinical units. Another 8% to 11% had a basic system - defined as having eight to 10 of the 32 possible EHR functionalities in at least one unit of the hospital.

White Lies, a London based trio formerly known as Fear of Flying, is no exception to the rule. Featuring a nostalgic veneer of haunting melodies, morbid song titles, and even more melancholic lyrics, the outfit’s U.S. debut, “To Lose My Life...
...minimum defined-benefits package, with no exclusions for pre-existing conditions. That would address two problems people now encounter on the individual insurance market, where it is difficult for many to find the coverage they need at a price they can afford. What's more, their bill can boast something no other plan has at this point: bipartisan support. In the Senate, Wyden's Republican co-sponsors include Utah's Bob Bennett, Idaho's Mike Crapo, South Carolina's Lindsey Graham and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, a member of the GOP Senate leadership...
