This humble blog is included in the latest installment of the MedBlog Power 8 at Kevin, MD. Each of the featured sites is worth a perusal.

Yet another Canadian politician has chosen the much-maligned U.S. health care system over that of her own country. CTV reports the following:
Liberal MP Belinda Stronach, who is battling breast cancer, traveled to California last June for an operation that was recommended as part of her treatment.

The free market is a wondrous thing. It allows suppliers of goods and services to compete for your business, and this competition usually puts downward pressure on prices. As this article illustrates, this phenomenon is as true for the newspaper industry as it is for any other:
