Weekend Roundup

By Evan Falchuk

Some reading from the weekend:

1.  The state of Hawaii wants to opt-out of the federal health care reform.

2.  Health care and politics: a bad mix.  Eighty-one percent of those surveyed disagree with new scientific mammogram recommendations.  You think politicians will make sure the science doesn’t become public policy?

3.  A Massachusetts health plan and a hospital system try an alternative to fee-for-service medicine.  Will it work?

4.  A depiction of an especially grisly medical mistake.

5.  Speaking of grisly: Turbaconducken.
