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 in [...]]]></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.
But Intermountain [...]]]></description>

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 reps who [...]]]></description>

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 September. [...]]]></description>

Sorry about all those exclamation marks in the headline. 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. Not a huge surprise, given the group&#8217;s endorsement of the health-care bill [...]]]></description>

The Senate just killed that bill that would have blocked Medicare pay cuts to doctors. All of the Republicans opposed the bill, along with a handful of Dems. But that doesn&#8217;t mean the looming 21% pay cut is going to take effect next year.
Instead, Congress will likely do what it almost always does: [...]]]></description>

There were some heated words on the Senate floor today as Congress debated what to do about planned Medicare pay cuts for doctors. We&#8217;ll get to the rhetoric in a minute, but first a bit of the back story.
Under current law, Medicare payment rates for doctors will fall by 21% next year. Nobody [...]]]></description>

Gardasil is on the routine list for girls, because it protects against some of the strains of HPV that [...]]]></description>
