...other hand, watering down reform to cut a deal with the GOP could alienate a liberal base that already felt neglected after the public option was stripped out of health reform. And the health care experience showed Democrats that the horse-trading necessary to corral 60 Senators can end up producing cornhusker kickbacks that make reform unpopular...

...Meanwhile, the default position for the GOP in the Obama era is no, and while its united recalcitrance failed (barely!) to stop health care, that's likely to make its leaders even less eager to hand the President another big victory. For reasons of anti-regulatory ideology as well as intense pressure from banks and other business lobbies, many Republicans - and some conservative Democrats - are deeply uncomfortable with a financial crackdown in the first place. Senator Bob Corker has been the GOP's leading voice for compromise, even criticizing his own party's intransigence, but he also told me many...

But, he says, "peer influencing" of the type that goes on at these meetings - relating to commonsensical practices, like hand washing and good hygiene - certainly helps.

Behind the screen of its phenomenal economic growth, the country continues to struggle with abysmally high rates of newborn deaths. According to national estimates, for every 1,000 live births, 39 babies die in their first month; a third of these don't survive their first day. In Jharkhand and Orissa, two of east India's most impoverished and underserved states, the numbers are worse still - 49 and 45 deaths per 1,000 live births, respectively. The neonatal mortality rate in China, by comparison, lingers under...

...according to the NGO, 20,000 village women are meeting every month. Now the team is looking to collaborate with the Indian government's five-year-old National Rural Health Mission to take advantage of its female Accredited Social Health Activists, or ASHAs. These frontline workers, trained in neonatal care, have already been stationed throughout rural India. Incorporating them as facilitators into the Ekjut Trial, says the Institute, would give them a more focused role in village communities. UNICEF's van den Hombergh calls the ASHAs the key to "cooperation between the women's groups and the government." He adds...
