This week's NEJM reading
In this week's issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, Henry Aaron -- not the baseball legend, the senior fellow at the Brookings Institute, takes a look at waste in the medical system. He says, among other things, that it will take a long time to root out, which is why it's important to start now.
The Journal also has posted an article examining reproductive-freedom issues as outlined by the two major presidential candidates. Once confined primarily to abortion-related issues, this area now covers greater, and grayer, issues such as embryonic stem-cell research.
And this article examines our country's problems -- and problems they are -- with reproductive health.
