Dose of price controls is unhealthy idea
Chicago Sun-Times, United States -
But why? Two surveys found 80 percent approval or satisfaction among seniors for the Medicare program. Far from the fears when it was enacted that very few insurers would participate, the Medicare drug program boasted 40 drug plans in many states this year. And 2007 will see insurers marketing more drug plans, some with lower premiums and more providing coverage for the "doughnut hole" gap in coverage. Competition works; many of the more costly plans this year will have reduced prices in 2007 to compete with low-cost programs. Medicare prescription plans will cover 13 percent more medications, about 4,390, in 2007.

Consolidation of media is unhealthy for education
Seattle Times, United States -
I don't pretend to be an expert on media consolidation and media ownership. I don't understand fully all of the economics of the dynamics that are going on in the media today. But, what I do understand is the educational process. And, what I do understand is the role of universities, especially research universities, in our society today. If you look at what happens in the academic setting of a university, what you see is that we are really charged with two simple tasks: the creation of new knowledge and new ways of understanding the world around us; and, second, disseminating that information to our students and to the world beyond the ivy walls.

Don�t Like Unhealthy Food ? Don�t Eat It
Liberty Papers, CA -
First, although I’m not a Christian, I find that people educated in Catholic schools, especially Jesuit schools, can generally exercise far better critical thinking skills, understand logic much better and have much better skills in the basics required for higher education than those educated in public schools. And, interestingly, are no more inclined to believe that the government should legislate morality than those educated in public schools. No scientific basis to this, of course, simply my observations. I think your implication is false until you can show otherwise.
