...cost: Studies have demonstrated that access to primary care improves health, allowing doctors to practice preventative medicine, monitor chronic diseases, and control rising health care costs. If we intend to actually realize the benefits of primary care, however, we must take active steps—whether through tuition breaks, tax subsidies, or pay scale changes—to encourage medical students to enter primary care...
...Market forces alone will not be enough to solve this lack of primary care physicians. State and federal governments, in conjunction with medical schools, must create a system of tax breaks and subsidies—perhaps along the lines of the Harvard Law School’s recent decision to waive third-year tuition for students who pledge to work in public service for five years—to attract more medical students to the field of primary care. Subsidies for primary care residencies, altering the Medicare pay scale, and creating tax breaks for those who practice primary care could...
...Parliament's track record so far doesn't seem promising. But if pain is any indication of progress then perhaps the LDP and the DPJ are onto something. Aside from deciding on the next BOJ governor, the issue of Japan's gasoline tax has come up and gone - and will likely come up again if the LDP and Fukuda's government have their way.

The Fukuda government submitted a revision to the tax reform...

Fukuda appears to be starting to make concessions: for instance, the DPJ has recently indicated they could look favorably upon the nomination of deputy governor Shirakawa for the top seat.

Neither did the proposal of Hiroshi Watanabe, the person Fukuda nominated on Monday for the deputy governor position. Again...
...Haven't you heard of the 'Reconquista' of the United States? I live in the west - and the 'humanitarian' stealing of tax payers dollars here to fund the incompetence of Latinos to fund their own health care or learn English is appalling," wrote a blogger who signed as Diana Jorgensen. However, Mexican intellectuals view the re-conquest as cultural rather than military, talking with satisfaction over the fact people in California are speaking Spanish and eating enchiladas. No one in the mainstream of Mexican politics seriously contemplates an offensive northward. Mexico City car mechanic Santiago Gomez finds the ad funny...
