Its push to computerize health-care records - another big-ticket stimulus item - could make generic drugs and cost-effective procedures our default treatments. And seniors who don't select health-care or drug plans could be automatically enrolled in low-cost options. "It would be nice if we all behaved like supercomputers, but that's not how we are," Orszag says...

At Stanford's fertility clinic, where doctors can carefully select high-quality embryos by growing them in the lab for five days, until the blastocyst stage, instead of the more usual three days, success rates have been on par, if not higher among single transfers, says Westphal.
