...appeals committee: winning races has long relied on engineering innovations that give a race car that extra microsecond advantage, while the teams left in the dust cry foul and demand that the sport's governing body, the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), rule those innovations out. FIA supremo Max Mosley had hoped to tamp down what he calls the sport's "financial arms race" by imposing a $66 million annual spending cap on teams, but instead he appears to have provoked a walkout that could see some of the sport's major names, such as Ferrari and McLaren, create...
...recent history in Massachusetts makes it clear that covering the uninsured cannot happen in a vacuum. In fact, more people with access to health care will be a burden on the system, including EDs, without other reforms that address problems like not having enough primary-care physicians. Senator Max Baucus, chair of the Senate Finance Committee, which is taking the lead role in writing health-care legislation, recently told the American Academy of Family Physicians that "meaningful, comprehensive reform must increase the value placed on primary care and redefine the role that primary care provides in our health system...
...first thing to bend in the face of this new realization is the accelerated, ambitious schedule that key committees have set for themselves.

On the contrary, it now increasingly looks like the HELP Committee will be playing a subordinate role in the debate to the Senate Finance Committee, whose chairman, Max Baucus of Montana, says he expects to begin the markup (or formal drafting) of his own, likely more centrist, bill next week. Also likely to fall to Baucus and the Finance Committee will be the most difficult question of all about health reform...
...What's more, all their ideas and competing plans may be creating a bit of sensory overload. "I started reading a couple, three of the Republican plans, but frankly, there's only so much time in the day," says Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus, who is authoring one of the leading Democratic plans. "I've started to spend more time with Republicans who are amenable to health-care reform and say to them, 'What would you like? What do you think?' That kind of thing. That's how I use my time. What's viable - that has a higher...
