Policymakers Search For Ways To Anchor Ballooning Health Costs
In 1993, when President Clinton attempted to overhaul the health care system, America"s total health spending amounted to $912 billion and left 40 million uninsured, Bloomberg reports.

Critics say the reforms Obama and congressional Democrats are pushing - which carry a $1 trillion price tag - would make the system cost even more.

Cincinnati Enquirer Looks At Effects Of Antiretrovirals On The Lives Of People With HIV, Larger Epidemic

The Cincinnati Enquirer examined how the "success stories" of people living longer with HIV - such as that of former National Basketball Association player Earvin "Magic" Johnson - can "illustrate how well anti-HIV medications work and might be part of the reason the epidemic still rages." The article discussed the efficacy of antiretrovirals, their side effects and the consequences of not taking the medications (O"Farrell [1], Cincinnati Enquirer, 6/5). The Enquirer also featured an overview of the history and science of HIV (O"Farrell [2], Cincinnati Enquirer, 6/5).
