New Evidence: Cell Phone Use Linked to Cancer, and Other Links
The World Health Organization is publicizing the idea that cell phone use can cause cancer. Here is a sober and skeptical review of the evidence. HT to Tyler Cowen. Aaron Carroll also weighs in.
Robert Lucas: Barack Obama’s policies have caused us to deviate permanently to a lower, European-style growth path. (Power Point)
Suicide kit cost $60. Delivers results in minutes.
Primary care matters: Medicare enrollees living in areas with the most primary care physicians per capita had a 6 percent lower rate of preventable hospitalizations.
Democratic professors are more egalitarian in grading students than Republican professors.
The Robert Lucas slideshow is even more discouraging than the cell phone link to cancer. And the cholesterol story is bad too. But still not worth the $60 to end it all.
The suicide kit costs $60 and the 91-year old former science teacher is selling 100 of them a month.
Anything Bob Lucas has to say has to be taken seriously.
I’m not surprised by the professors. Most “Democratic” professors are really socialists.
I have some people I would like to send the suicide kit to — gratis.
None of my friends talk on the phone anymore. They text more than anything. I wonder if we will see a rise in “index finger cancer” in twenty years.
I saw the suicide kit article a few days ago. If people want to kill themselves, they will. Stopping a little old lady from selling a plastic bag and some tubing won’t stop them. But, you can bet that you’ll have to present a mental health evaluation to the party planner in order to buy a balloon arrangement for a birthday party (helium will become the new pseudophedrine).
Maybe, the first thing you need to do is check how your drugs are covered with their plans.a0 Make sure your drugs are litsed in their formulary, and what tier they are.a0 Also consider the cost of the plan premium as well as your co-pay costs.a0 It does not make a lot of sense to join the program just for the Healthy Rewards if you are paying extra for your drugs.a0 However, if you are trying to decide between this plan and another that covers your drugs about the same then go for the plan with the extras.Source: medicare-plans.net
