Medicare at 50: Is the end near for SGR?
The Sustainable Growth Rate formula. Few aspects of Medicare have been more problematic for physicians.

Costs for hospital care, drugs and lost work days in incident and prevalent rheumatoid arthritis: how large, and how are they distributed?

Evolution of cost structures in rheumatoid arthritis over the past decade
Conclusions
The increase in treatment costs for RA over the last decade was associated with lower hospitalisation rates, better functional status and a lower incidence of work disability, offsetting a large proportion of risen drug costs. Since the rise in drug costs has manifested a plateau from 2009 onwards, no relevant further increase in total costs for patients with RA treated in German rheumatology is expected.

Allergy Test: Seasonal Allergens and Performance in School
Publication date: Available online 16 January 2015 Source:Journal of Health Economics Author(s): Dave E. Marcotte Seasonal pollen allergies affect approximately 1 in 5 school age children. Clinical research has established that these allergies result in large and consistent decrements in cognitive functioning, problem solving ability and speed, focus and energy. However, compared to air pollution, the impact of pollen and seasonal allergies on achievement in schools has received less attention from economists. Here, I use data on daily pollen counts merged with school district data to assess whether variation in the airb...

PODCAST: Congressional Fail on SGR, Medicaid pay parity
