Elsewhere in the issue, Kate Pickert reports on the growing trend of seeing your health-care provider where you do your shopping. Supermarkets, pharmacies and even big-box stores like Wal-Mart are including freestanding clinics where you can drop in without an appointment to get a sore throat checked or a child's earache treated--all for as little as $60 a visit. Making health-care cheap, easy and available like this prevents small problems from getting big. Be sure to also read John Cloud's story about how we can head off psychological problems by treating them...
