Supreme Court To Rule on Health Reform
November 14, 2011
Health Reform:
Prevention: New federal guidelines recommend that children, not just adults, routinely should be screened for high cholesterol to stave off heart disease, diabetes and other chronic conditions, Bonnie Rochman reports for Time's Healthland blog.
Parkinsons: A new international study has found that exposure to the industrial solvent trichloroethylene (TCE) is linked to a six-fold increase in the risk for Parkinson's disease. Neil Bowdler reports for the BBC News.
Duals: Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Anna Gorman examines how seriously ill people eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid often fall through the cracks of both federal programs, which sometimes pay too much for their care or deny it outright.
