...Despite what the most reliable data may suggest, though, the hope of having a child is not one that most infertile patients and even some doctors would care to quantify - or put a price tag on. "Some clinics still have a so-called guarantee that if the patient is not getting pregnant, they get their money back," says Martikainen. "In those cases, of course, the doctor tries to get the patient pregnant at any price...
...Studies suggest that people who are able to focus on the positive fallout from a negative event - basically, cope with failure - can protect themselves from the physical toll of stress and anxiety. In a recent study at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), scientists asked a group of women to give a speech in front of a stone-faced audience of strangers. On the first day, all the participants said they felt threatened, and they showed spikes in cortisol and fear hormones. On subsequent days, however, those women who had reported rebounding from a major life crisis...
...Still, even small differences can cause major rifts in families, and the competing budgets suggest the challenges Obama's agenda faces. Both the House and Senate, after all, removed Obama's $250 billion-$750 billion placeholder request for more bank bailout funds. And they both slashed the Administration's proposed 10% increase in nondefense discretionary spending (for education, environment and health initiatives, among other things), to 7% in the Senate and 7%-9% in the House. The Senate stripped the President's signature middle-class tax cuts, known as "Making Work to Pay," of $400 for individuals...
...Moreover, the new report bases its projections on 2005 census data. That means, amid the current economic downturn, that as the number of uninsured Americans rapidly grows, this so-called hidden tax could be much higher than the findings suggest. In December and January alone, as many as 14,000 people per day lost their insurance coverage, the CAP study shows. A second report, released earlier this month by the nonprofit Families USA, found that about 87 million people - roughly 1 in 3 Americans - went without health insurance for some period between 2007 and 2008. "The huge number of people...
...that had implemented digital records - which tended to be teaching hospitals and larger hospitals in urban areas - 82% had received additional reimbursement for EHR use, and 75% got financial incentives for adopting the system. It also helped to have adequately trained staff and available tech support, which the authors suggest we'll need more of to make progress - particularly when it comes to the exchange of health information between hospitals. Try getting any two offices in any industry to integrate their computer systems so that all the software can talk to all the other software, and now imagine doing...
