		<description><![CDATA[This is a response, mostly crafted on Facebook, to some of the panic over the recently released breast cancer screening guidelines. I&#8217;m surprised this is coming to a head now, because I was reading about the shift in screening recommendations back in July. In October, the New York Times headline was Cancer Society, in Shift, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few people have posted about this, but I thought I&#8217;d share with you. SEIU (Service Employees International Union) posted on Friday that &#8220;Insurance companies have used the excuse of &#8220;pre-existing conditions&#8221; to deny coverage to countless Americans.&#8221; What&#8217;s that? I remember hearing about this before, but had conveniently forgotten it due to the fact, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not that the old meds are getting weaker, drug developers say. It&#8217;s as if the placebo effect is somehow getting stronger. Some of you may have seen this article in wired about the placebo effect, but if not &#8211; I highly recommend it. Now, after 15 years of experimentation, he has succeeded in mapping [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another NY Times article on the actual costs of health care. You go to a restaurant, peruse the menu, take your waiter’s suggestions, and order a meal. But there is something odd: the menu has no prices and you have no idea what you will be required to pay until a few weeks later when [...]]]></description>
