		<description><![CDATA[By Shirley S. Wang Should companies be allowed to buy large quantities of medicine like Tamiflu to have on hand in case their employees develop the H1N1 flu virus? Not according to the law in South Korea, where it&#8217;s illegal for non-medical professionals to purchase big lots of drugs. Punishment is up to five years [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Jacob Goldstein Evidence-based medicine sounds straightforward enough, but (like everything else in health care) it&#8217;s become pretty contentious. The argument against evidence-based care says, more or less, that no two patients are alike, so doctors must be flexible in their use of evidence and can&#8217;t be bound by rigid protocols based on large studies.

		<description><![CDATA[By Jacob Goldstein IMS Health is nearing a deal to sell itself for nearly $4 billion, the WSJ reports. That raises a simple question: What does IMS Health do, anyway? Drug companies pay IMS for information about the prescribing habits of individual doctors. This, of course, is very valuable stuff for the drug company sales [...]]]></description>

Wang The pharmaceutical industry is undergoing big cuts and the U.S. unemployment rate hit its highest mark since April 1983, but the health-care services sector continues to grow, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The health-care industry added an additional 29,000 jobs in October, nearly the same amount it grew in [...]]]></description>

But there&#8217;s lots of action in DC today, what with the House set to vote on the big health-care bill this Saturday. The AMA came out in favor of the House bill today.

Instead, Congress will likely do what it almost [...]]]></description>

That&#8217;s the idea behind cancer screening, and that&#8217;s clearly how it works with pap smears for cervical cancer and colonoscopy for colon cancer. But in some cases screening can lead to aggressive treatment of slow-growing tumors that would never have caused a [...]]]></description>
