Hospitals Should be Care Providers not Loan Sharks
|
17.5.2013 |
Commondreams.org Views |
If there is one problem that symbolizes the ongoing national healthcare emergency, it is the rampant price gouging in the healthcare industry that continues to price too many Americans out of access to care and into financial ruin. Not only is the problem not solved by the Affordable Care Act, but it is a likely reason many will continue to demand more effective reform, as in expanding and extending Medicare to cover everyone. read more |

Smartphone Tracker Gives Doctors Remote Viewing Powers
|
17.5.2013 |
Technology Review Feed - Tech Review Top Stories |
| Here’s the smartphone technology that alerts a doctor when patients are headed for trouble. At the Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, nurses can see into the lives of some diabetes patients even when they’re not at the clinic. If a specific patient starts acting lethargic, or making lengthy calls to his mom, a green box representing him on an online dashboard turns yellow, then red. Soon, a nurse will call to see if he is still taking his medication.

Can New Brunswick afford a $715-million cut to medicare?
|
13.5.2013 |
rabble.ca - News for the rest of us |
| The Saint John Common Causes committee invited me to Saint John this week to offer a public talk on the current state of medicare and the 2014 Health Accord. I love being on the road because it offers me a chance to understand the challenges that each province faces with their health-care system and the successes and innovation that they've implemented to meet those challenges.
This week I spent time researching health care in New Brunswick, speaking with journalists and radio hosts, and talking to the community about their encounters with medicare.

Who cares about growing inequality in Harper's Canada? The Finance Committee gets an earful!
|
10.5.2013 |
rabble.ca - News for the rest of us |
| A lot happens in Parliament, aside from the theatre of Question Period and the now ritualized scrums that follow in the lobby of the House.

And most of it happens far from the gaze of the media or the public.
On April 25, for instance, the House Finance Committee heard from a number of expert witnesses on -- believe it or not -- the subject of inequality.
How and why -- in this time and with the current Conservative Party in power -- a House of Commons committee decided to even talk about such as subject is a bit of a mystery.
It happened, however, and it was an exercise that might have merited a bit more attention.
