A Litmus Test for Elected Officials

by Brian Klepper and David C. KibbeSix months ago, who could have imagined that a large percentage of rank-and-file Americans would support the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) against special interests’ rigging of the American dream? So why not go to the next step? Why not pointedly ask political candidates, “Will you take money from lobbyists?” and “If elected, what will you do to stop special interest

The Tragedy of Underfunded Mental Health Care

Today’s Managing Health Care Costs Indicator is 19,900 The NY Times on Friday had a deeply disturbing article on a murder that stunned the mental health community here in Massachusetts.

Since the 1960s, Colchicine, a plant extract first used for treatment of gout two thousand years ago, has been used for treating FMF. As an ancient treatment widely used prior to formation of the FDA, Colchicine did not require FDA approval as a new ...
