...longtime barrier to psychiatric care has been reluctance by insurance companies to consider mental illnesses on par with physical ones and thus not pay as well to treat them. Only 6.2% of current U.S. health care spending is devoted to the treatment of mental disorders. Federal lawmakers may soon change that. Following the lead of many states, the U.S. House of Representatives in March passed legislation that would require equal health insurance coverage for mental and physical illnesses, when policies offer coverage for both. "Mental illness and drug addiction are every bit as real and serious as physical illness," said...
...thought the species, soon to be officially listed as endangered, was doomed. Her team's work on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes - which activate an immune response in all vertebrates - confirmed late last year that devils have so little genetic diversity that their immune systems simply don't treat the tumor cells as a threat. That was the grim news from the island's east, where the disease has hit hardest. But it now seems that devils from the more isolated west could be different. It's a distinction that just might save them - and their species...

"If states were doing a better job it would cut our case load...
...Williams-Thomas is critical of how the police handled the disappearance. "It went wrong right from the start, when they did not treat it as a critical incident," he says. The McCanns should have immediately been considered suspects, if only to quickly exonerate them, he says, and the crime scene should have been properly preserved - neither of which happened. Because of initial mistakes, Williams-Thomas says, it's doubtful the crime will ever be solved, unless Madeleine's body is discovered. He also doubts the police have evidence to charge the McCanns with murder. But, he says, it is likely...
