Is the World Bank guilty of medical malpractice in its fight on malaria?

The authors go on to provide abundant evidence of profound mismanagement. The more you read, the worse it sounds, despite the fact that it was written in a dispassionate and objective style. If anything, they are too gentle. After stating that their investigations "suggest" that the Bank wasted money and lives, they document six instances of exactly that.

A close look at the politics of malpractice reform from Milwaukee.

Am a little disappointed that the JS’s Madison Bureau team didn’t also look up how much Lautenschlager’s taken from the trial lawyer lobby. According to the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, Peg’s taken over $138,000 from lawyers. How many of them are trial lawyers is another question all together?

Will Vioxx find a new market?

A new study just released at the American Association of Cancer Researchers meeting in Washington, D.C., showed women who take medication to ease their arthritis pain are also protecting themselves against cancer.

From a post covering bloggers' reactions to the new Massachusetts health care law, a comment on medical malpractice.

The primary reason health care costs go up is because of lawsuit abuse which needs IMMEDIATE attention from capital hill. This is the very thing the federal government could do something about. Why the state governments haven't dealt with this, I do not know.
