...have no impact at best, but it costs patients money and, worse, may expose them to harmful side effects for years or even decades. "The commonest medicines that we use are inhaled steroids," says Aaron. "They are very safe for patients with asthma, but are associated with long-term side effects, including osteoporosis, glaucoma and cataracts." The drugs may also exacerbate the patients' actual disorder - anxiety, for example - for which patients may continue to fail to seek treatment...
...their effort to sway at least a few Republicans, Democrats did take some of their concerns into account - including demands for long-term financial plans from loan recipients, increased oversight and taxpayer protections.

"I think Jock described me to Sol as a poor dirt farmer of a museum director," says mass moca director Joe Thompson. "Cash poor but rich in buildings and land...
...main argument within the Administration against using TARP money for an auto-industry loan is that the automakers' problems are viewed as systemic, not short-term. "No one in this building or in this Administration has a plan for the long-term viability of the auto industry," says the senior Treasury official. "It's just not on the shelf." Without such a plan, the Administration has decided that any short-term loan should come from existing money from Congress for the auto industry's modernization...
