"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
Surveillance II: The Ohio Department of Insurance is launching an investigation into malpractice carriers who deny coverage to nursing home doctors, and Democrats in the State Senate are looking into it, too. We should be careful what we ask for, though, we just might get it:
``Clearly, as a business, they have the ability to pick and choose who they do business with,'' said Peter Van Runkle, president and chief executive of Ohio Health Care Association, a nursing home trade association. ``Anything where you try to force insurers to do something... you run the risk of running carriers out of the state and reducing availability, which is the last thing we need.'' posted by Sydney on
