...essentials, and by a rapidly aging population in need of greater care. The cost of these thorough examinations can run high--from $1,200 to $2,500--and is generally not reimbursable by insurance companies. Rather, employers often insist that their executives have an examination, and pick up the tab on the theory that an unhealthy executive can drag down corporate productivity. About 3,000 people, mostly upper-echelon managers, take the Cleveland Clinic physical each year...
...students have home computers. Schools, libraries and community centers are the only places where students can use computers and access the Internet. Despite the corporate partnerships that aim to provide Internet access, local school systems and libraries are still picking up the vast share of the tab. In Boston, we are proud to have been in a financial situation that has allowed us to invest more than $50 million in technology. Other cities are not so fortunate; should their children be left behind? Instead of throwing about buzz words about taxes, Congress, the Administration and the industry should discuss...

The commission also says carriers stand to gain part of the business generated from this new market...

A graduate of Yale law school, he founded the irreverent monthly American Lawyer at age 28 and managed almost from the start to throw a scare into the close-knit legal profession--as well as into his own staff. (A former reporter recalls Brill emerging from his office roaring, "I'm gonna make somebody cry!") Later he created Court TV, which earned high marks for its coverage...
