...suffering and confusion should begin to lift this year, however, thanks to the efforts of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the group responsible for certifying the quality and safety of the majority of hospitals, nursing homes and clinics in the U.S. Starting Jan. 1, these medical facilities will have to show that they meet certain standards for the assessment and treatment of pain in all their patients. Failure to meet the standards, which were jointly developed with the University of Wisconsin Medical School in Madison, could lead to a financially devastating loss of the right to treat...

He's even parroted the Reagan-era notion of "trickle-down" economics to insist that the rising tide of globalization will lift all boats. And there's no reason to expect any different from the Bush administration. These politicians have been egged on over the past decade by globalization's most enthusiastic champions in the media, the most relentless and prolific of whom is undoubtedly New York Times columnist and author Thomas...
